Irregular verbs are verbs that do not follow the convention of adding 'ed' at the end of the verb to form past tense statements. Although there are only about 180 past tense verbs in the modern English language, they are the most commonly occuring verbs. According to Steven Pinker, 70 percent of the time we use a verb,it is an irregular verb. The implication for pedagogy is that irregular verbs are an extremely important area to cover.

In this section, we have added resources for teaching irregular verbs along with their spelling. We have taken what we feel are the 90 most important verbs and divided them into three groups of 30 verbs and then created resources for each of those groups of 30. We have tried to structure it so that the first group contains the simplest and most frequently occuring verbs.

The resources are listed altogether below this introduction. For an explanation on how to use some of them scroll down below the resources.

'What a comprehensive site! I espcially like your verb tenses worksheets. They allow my students to really practice all the many variations. Thanks very much for your help.' -- Lilliana V., Distrito Federal, Mexico, 10/28/11

Aren't verb tenses wonderful? No? Well, okay. Maybe not. But while they may not exactly be wonderful, they are certainly useful. After all, research tells us that studying verb tenses is a great way to learn the fundamental aspects of language. For example, take the English verb, 'to be.' Almost ubiquitous in our language, this verb is very simple yet very useful. That's why we start with this verb in the list of worksheets on this page - we know how useful it is to beginning learners. And learners of English as a Second Language (ESL) may find these worksheets especially helpful. But that's not to say that our worksheets are only for beginners. Even experts can learn something from them. Hey experts! Do you know the past participle form of drink? 'I have drunk a lot of water today.' Or what about the simple past tense form of the verb, cost? 'My shoes cost $65.' Yes, that's right, it doesn't change! And hey, and let's not forget about that pesky subjuncitve mood. If I were you, I would study with English for Everyone! :)
On this page you'll find our complete list of printable verb tenses worksheets. The worksheets you will find in these sections include explanations and examples of the three aspects (simple, progressive, and perfect) of the past, present, and future English tenses. On our verb tenses worksheets, practice involves filling in the blanks and rewriting sentences in the specified aspect and tense. This enables students not only to enhance their knowledge of the various verb tense forms, but also to articulate more complex actions and ideas. Also, please note that these worksheets have yet to be refined and tested in the classroom. While we believe them to be of the highest quality, minor errors may still exist. We greatly appreciate you taking time to inform us of any perceived errors by email at englishforeveryone.org@gmail.com.
