Examples of Regular Verbs

Regular verbs are those in which “-d” or “-ed” can be added to the base form to create both the past simple tense and past participle forms.

The base form of a verb is its original or unchanged form.

Understanding Regular Verb Formation

Observe the following examples from the table below: create, walk, and move.

These verbs are regular because when forming the past simple or past participle, you only need to add “-d” or “-ed” to their base forms.

• If the verb ends in a consonant, add “-ed”.
• If the verb ends in “-e”, only add “-d”.

Verb (Base)	Past Simple	Past Participle
create	created	created
walk	walked	walked
move	moved	moved

Summary

Regular verbs follow a predictable pattern in forming past tenses: simply adding “-d” or “-ed” to the base verb. Understanding this rule helps you confidently form and identify past tense verbs.
