Why weak verbs are Regular Verbs?
Weak verbs are also known as Regular Verbs as they are changed in a regular way. Weak verbs form their past tense by adding –ed, or -d, or -t to the present without any inside vowel change:
- laugh - laughed
- receive - received
- learn - learnt
- bend - bent
- kill - killed
- cook - cooked
In English there are so many regular verbs. Here we will discuss about some common weak or regular verbs listed in English Grammar.
