Verbos Regulares e Irregulares
1. Verbos Regulares:
Os verbos regulares no passado simples e no particípio terminam em -ed.
Exemplo:
- Base form: play → played (past simple e past participle)
Regras adicionais para a formação:
- Se o verbo termina em e, adicionamos apenas -d: live → lived.
- Se termina em consoante + vogal + consoante, dobramos a última consoante: stop → stopped.
- Para verbos terminados em y precedido de consoante, troca-se o y por -ied: study → studied.
2. Verbos Irregulares:
Os verbos irregulares têm formas próprias para o passado e o particípio, sem seguir um padrão fixo. É necessário memorizá-los.
Exemplo:
- Base form: go → went (past simple) → gone (past participle).
