A list of Irregular verbs
Irregular verbs are a type of verb in English (and many other languages) that do not follow a predictable pattern of conjugation. Unlike regular verbs, which can be modified by adding “-ed” to form the past tense and past participle, irregular verbs have unique conjugations that must be memorized.A list of Irregular verbs.
For example, the irregular verb “go” has the following conjugations:
- Present tense: I go, you go, he/she/it goes, we go, they go
- Past tense: I went, you went, he/she/it went, we went, they went
- Past participle: gone

As you can see, the past tense and past participle forms of “go” are not formed by adding “-ed”. This makes irregular verbs more difficult to learn and use correctly than regular verbs.
There are many irregular verbs in English, and some of the most commonly used ones include “be”, “have”, “do”, “say”, “make”, and “take”. It’s important to memorize the conjugations of irregular verbs to avoid making mistakes when writing and speaking in English.

In Bengali, irregular verbs are also common, and like in English, they do not follow a predictable pattern of conjugation. These verbs have unique conjugations that must be memorized.
For example, the Bengali verb “jete” (to go) is irregular and has the following conjugations:
- Present tense: আমি যাই (ami jai), তুমি যাও (tumi jao), সে যায় (she jay), আমরা যাই (amra jai), তোমরা যাও (tomra jao), তারা যায় (tara jay)
- Past tense: আমি গেলাম (ami gelam), তুমি গেলে (tumi gele), সে গেলো (she gelo), আমরা গেলাম (amra gelam), তোমরা গেলে (tomra gele), তারা গেলো (tara gelo)
- Past participle: গেছে (geshe)
As you can see, the past tense and past participle forms of “jete” are not formed by adding a suffix to the base form. Other irregular verbs in Bengali include “khabar” (to eat), “hote” (to be), “korte” (to do), and “bole” (to say), among others.
It’s important to memorize the conjugations of irregular verbs in Bengali, just as it is in English, to avoid making mistakes when using these verbs in sentences.
