Regular verbs A regular verb forms its past and past participle by adding -ed or -d to the present form. ● The present and the past form can be used by themselves as verbs. ● The present participle and the past participle are always used with a helping verb. ● Remember, when a verb ends with a consonant and y, change the y to i before adding -ed. examples: cried, hurried, dried) ● When a one-syllable verb ends with a vowel and a consonant, double the consonant before adding -ed. (examples: hopped, shipped, jammed)
