The funky -ed irregular verb | The parts of speech | Grammar | Khan Academy Video Lecture | Complete Course on English Grammar: Upgrade your Speaking & Listening - Personal Skills

hello grammarians we're talking about
irregular verbs that is to say that
verbs that aren't formed like regular
verbs and to give you a taste of what
regular verbs look like just as a
refresher let's take the word walk let's
put it in the present tense and now
normally under normal circumstances we'd
want to just add an e D to it in order
to form the simple past tense so we go
from walk to walked we add this IDI
ending and it turns out that there are a
lot of irregular verbs that also behave
the same way when we make the past tense
we have this sound it's just that
they're not represented that way in the
spelling I'll give you an example the
present tense form of the word to sleep
is sleep and when we put it in past
tense
it is not sleep but slept the part of
slept does the same work as the ED
ending for the regular plural so sleep
becomes slept is the same as walk
becomes walked
likewise keep becomes kept build becomes
built spend becomes spent leave becomes
left leap becomes lept and lose becomes
lost so although these verbs are all
irregular verbs within their
irregularity at least in this case there
is some common distinctions they're all
still trying to make the same sound as
walked it just displays differently so
it's not sleeped but slept not keep't
but kept not builded but built not
spended but spent not leave it but left
not leap 'add but left not lucid but
lost at least as it applies to modern
Standard English and that my friends is
the funky IDI you can learn anything
Dave it out
