Irregular Verbs

What Are Irregular Verbs?

Irregular verbs are verbs that don’t take on the regular –d, -ed, or -ied spelling patterns of the past simple (V2) or past participle (V3). Many of the irregular V2 and V3 forms are the same, such as: cut – cut, had – had, let – let, hurt – hurt, fed- fed, sold-sold

Irregular Verb Examples

Irregular verbs are also known as strong verbs. Here are nine that are used more often than the rest. These nine irregular verb examples also happen to be among the most commonly used words in the English language. They are:

Go
Get
Say
See
Think
Make
Take
Come
Know

The following examples show how irregular verbs are used in sentences. Some sentences contain more than one example.

Go get your brother. It’s time to eat dinner.
→ In this example, all three irregular verbs (go, get, and eat) are in base form.
I want to build a sand castle like the one we built last year.
→ In this example, the irregular verb build is in base form. The irregular verb built is the past simple form of “build”. When you look at the complete list of examples, you’ll notice that built is also the past participle of the irregular verb “build”.
He bet me that I couldn’t run five miles without stopping. I proved him wrong; I ranseven miles before I had to catch my breath.
→ In this example, bet is a past simple form. When you look at the complete list, you will see that all three forms of “bet” are the same. Next, in the same sentence, the irregular verb run is in base form. In the next sentence, ran is the past simple form of “run” and had is the past simple form of “have.” Meanwhile, catch is base form.
I awoke to find that a spider had bitten me. Although the wound didn’t bleed, it itched terribly.
→ In this example, the irregular verb awoke is the past simple form of “awake.” Bitten is past participle form of “bite” and bleed is base form.
Let’s drink some of this lemonade. I drank some yesterday and found it delicious.
→ In this example, the irregular verb drink is in base form. Drank is the past simple form of “drink,” and found is the past simple form of “find.”

WE ARE THE WORLD SONG

WE ARE THE WORLD

USA FOR AFRICA

"We're The World (USA For Africa)"

There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We all are a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need

[Chorus:]
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand

[Chorus]

When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Well...well...well
Let's realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one

[Chorus]

ANAYA, LIBRO INTERACTIVO 6º CABALLERO DE LA ROSA

ENLACE DIRECTO AL LIBRO INTERACTIVO http://www.anayaeducacion.es/index_alumnado.php

want x to/ need to

want (pronoun) to // need to //// have to // must

We use the verb want to talk about wishes and needs, and to give advice:

What do you want for dinner tonight? (wish or desire)

The kitchen wants painting. (needs)

You want to get your tickets soon before they’re all sold out. (I advise you to)

Most uses of want involve the simple forms of the verb (want, wants, wanted). When we are talking about wishes or desires we can also use the continuous form (is wanting, was wanting, will be wanting).

We always follow want with a complement of some kind. The complement completes the meaning of the clause. The complement can be a noun or pronoun as an object, or a verb in the to-infinitive form, or an object plus a verb in the to-infinitive form:

A:

D’you want a drink? I’ve just made some coffee. (noun object)

B:

Oh, yes, please.

Not: ~~D’you want?~~

She said I could have her old bike, but I don’t want it. (pronoun object)

Not: … ~~but I don’t want~~.

This is a new kind of fruit juice I got. D’you want to try it? (to-infinitive)

Not: ~~Do you want try it?~~

The teacher wants her to do the exams again next year. (object + to-infinitive)

Not: ~~The teacher wants that she does the exams~~ …

In reduced clauses (e.g. short answers), we can use the to without its verb:

A:

Is Elsa going to France with you?

B:

No. She doesn’t want to. (She doesn’t want to go [to France].)

Not: ~~She doesn’t want~~.

He wanted to leave school at sixteen, but his parents didn’t want him to.

Warning:

We don’t use want with a that-clause:

I want you to tidy your room before the visitors come.

Not: ~~I want that you tidy your room~~ …

We can use wh-words such as what, when, whenever, wherever, whoeverbefore want. In such cases, it is often not necessary to use the infinitive toafter want:

You don’t have to stay for the whole lecture. You can leave wheneveryou want. (or … whenever you want to.)

A:

Would you like some of these carrots from our garden?

B:

Oh, yes, please.

A:

Take what you want.

In statements with if, it is often not necessary to use the infinitive to afterwant:

She can park her car at our house, if she wants.

However, we use the infinitive to after want in negative clauses with if:

He doesn’t have to stay the night if he doesn’t want to.

We can use want in the continuous form to show indirectness or politeness:

Customer:

We’re wanting to buy a new TV, but we’re not sure what to get.

Assistant:

Okay, sir. Let me show you some of them.

I was wanting to ask you something. Are you free right now?

We can also use the continuous form to emphasise an ongoing or repeated process:

We’d been wanting to go to New Zealand for years, so his sixtieth birthday was a good excuse.

Now that she’s a teenager she’s wanting expensive things, you know, computers, clothes, sports stuff.

We can use want with the -ing form of a verb to say that something is necessary or should be done. This usage is quite informal:

Your hair wants cutting. (needs to be cut)

That cupboard wants clearing out.

In informal situations, we can also use want + -ing in a similar way to the construction have something done:

Have you got any shirts you want washing? (which you want to have washed)

In informal situations, we can use want plus the to-infinitive to advise, recommend or warn. It is almost always in the present simple, but we can also use it with ’ll (the short form of will):
