Extended List of Irregular Verbs provides a list of irregular verbs and defines the difference between regular and irregular verbs.
Regular and Irregular Verbs
Regular verbs form their principal parts differently to irregular verbs.
The four principal parts are present, present participle, past, and past participle.
Regular verbs form past and past participle by adding ed to the present.
However, irregular verbs form their past and past participle irregularly.
