What's an irregular verb?
A verb that doesn't act like a typical verb in a language. In English, for example, the typical way to form the past tense is with the suffix -ed.
Example:
Mark Sanford
cheats on his wife. (Present)*
Mark Sanford
cheated on his wife. (Past)
However, there are some English verbs that don't work that way. The verbs that don't follow typical patterns are irregular.
Example:
Mark Sanford
is the representative from South Carolina's 1st district. (Present)
Mark Sanford
was the representative from South Carolina's 1st district. (Past)
