Oregelbundna verb
Oregelbundna verb (på engelska irregular verbs) skiljer sig från regelbundna verb genom att grundformen inte får böjningsändelsen -ed.
De oregelbundna verben finns i tre former: grundform (infinitiv), preteritum och perfekt particip.
Infinitiv (på engelska infinitive) uttrycker en pågående handling.
Exempel att vara – to be
Preteritum eller imperfekt (på engelska past) anger sådant som inträffat tidigare.
Exempel jag var – I was
Perfekt particip (på engelska past participle) anger att någon/något genomgått handlingen som verbet uttrycker.
Exempeljag hade varit – I had been
