A regular verb is a verb that forms its past tense and past participle by following a standard pattern, which usually involves adding "-ed" or "-d" to the base form of the verb. For example, the verb "play" becomes "played" in both the past tense and past participle forms. Most regular verbs follow this simple rule for conjugation. In contrast, irregular verbs do not follow this pattern and have unique forms, such as "drink" which becomes "drank" (past tense) and "drunk" (past participle), not "drinked".
Examples of regular verbs include "walk," "talk," "paint," and "waste," which all form their past tenses by adding "-ed" or "-d" consistently. In summary, a regular verb is predictable in how it changes tense, typically by adding "-ed" or "-d" to its base form. This makes regular verbs easier to conjugate compared to irregular verbs.
