¿Qué es un verbo irregular?

Un verbo es irregular cuando su pasado simple y su participio pasado NO siguen la regla de agregar "(ed)". Por ejemplo: go → went → gone, no "goed". No hay una regla de ortografía que los prediga: se aprenden de memoria, generalmente agrupados por patrón para hacerlo más fácil.

Este compendio incluye verbos irregulares de uso muy frecuente, agrupados en tres patrones según cómo se relacionan su forma base, su pasado y su participio.

03

Grupo 1: los tres iguales

En este grupo, la forma base, el pasado y el participio son exactamente la misma palabra. Es el grupo más fácil de memorizar, porque no hay nada que cambiar.

cut → cut → cut

hit → hit → hit

put → put → put

04

Grupo 2: pasado igual al participio

En este grupo, el pasado y el participio son iguales entre sí, pero diferentes de la forma base. Es el grupo más numeroso: una vez que aprendes la segunda forma, ya sabes también la tercera.

buy → bought → bought

teach → taught → taught

bring → brought → brought

05

Grupo 3: los tres diferentes

En este grupo, la forma base, el pasado y el participio son tres palabras distintas. Es el grupo que más práctica necesita.

go → went → gone

see → saw → seen

break → broke → broken

06

Los 12 tiempos verbales, en resumen

La estructura de cada tiempo es la misma que para los verbos regulares: solo cambia la forma del verbo (aquí memorizada, no calculada con una regla).

Presente simple: forma base, o base + s con he, she, it. I go, she goes

Presente continuo: am, is o are, más -ing. I am going

Presente perfecto: have o has, más el participio. I have gone

Presente perfecto continuo: have o has been, más -ing. I have been going

Pasado simple: el pasado irregular, igual para todas las personas. I went

Pasado continuo: was o were, más -ing. I was going

Pasado perfecto: had, más el participio. I had gone

Pasado perfecto continuo: had been, más -ing. I had been going

Futuro simple: will, más la forma base. I will go

Futuro continuo: will be, más -ing. I will be going

Futuro perfecto: will have, más el participio. I will have gone

Futuro perfecto continuo: will have been, más -ing. I will have been going
