Introduction to irregular verbs발음듣기

Hello grammarians.발음듣기

Today I want to start talking about irregular verbs.발음듣기

That is to say verbs that are a little weird.발음듣기

You know, we have this idea of a regular verb that we can conjugate in all tenses and it's just going to behave in a way that we expect.발음듣기

Like for example the verb talk.발음듣기

So if we take a regular verb and we put it in the past, the present, and the future, this is what it's going to look like.발음듣기

Present tense, talk.발음듣기

Future tense, will talk.발음듣기

Past tense, talked, with that e-d ending.발음듣기

But there are plenty of verbs in English, as you have no doubt discovered, that don't follow that basic rule.발음듣기

Present tense is one form of the verb, then the past tense is the present with e-d tacked onto it, and then the future with will tacked onto the front.발음듣기

And there are plenty of words in English, as you have no doubt discovered, that don't behave that way at all.발음듣기

So let's take anothers- let's take an irregular word like run.발음듣기

Present tense, run.발음듣기

Future tense, will run.발음듣기

Past tense, ran. Oh weird.발음듣기

Super duper weird.발음듣기

Now there are a lot of irregular verbs in English, but you're listening to someone with a grammar book the size of a car.발음듣기

So I think between the two of us we can figure this out together.발음듣기

But for now, let's just focus on four verbs.발음듣기

To be, to have, to do, and to say.발음듣기

So let's take these verbs and make them work for a bunch of different people in different times.발음듣기

So in the first person, when we're talking about ourselves, when I'm talking about myself.발음듣기

In the present I would say I am. I have.발음듣기

I do. I say.발음듣기

If we're talking about someone else, in the present in the singular, we would say she is, she has, she does, and she says.발음듣기

So the third person singular is different in the way that these words are pronounced.발음듣기

So am because of this entirely different word is, have doesn't become haves, it's has, and do doesn't become does, it becomes does, we actually change the vowel sound here, just like say doesn't become says, we don't say she says in standard American English, we say she says.발음듣기

In the present tense, we are, we have, we do, we say.발음듣기

And in the past tense in the first person, these four verbs form the following: I was, I had, I did, and I said.발음듣기

And in the plural past it was we were, we had, we did, and we said.발음듣기

These four verbs are some of the strangest ones in English, but they're the most important.발음듣기

In another video, I'm going to go through some broad rules that govern the rest of the irregular verbs in English.발음듣기

You can learn anything.발음듣기

David, out!발음듣기
