Oregelbundna verb
Oregelbundna verb (på engelska irregular verbs) skiljer sig från regelbundna verb genom att grundformen inte får böjningsändelsen -ed.
De oregelbundna verben finns i tre former: grundform (infinitiv), preteritum och perfekt particip.
Infinitiv (infinitive) uttrycker en pågående handling. Infinitiv på engelska inleds ofta med "to" (infinitivmärket).
Exempel To be. Att vara
Preteritum eller imperfekt (past) anger sådant som inträffat tidigare.
Exempel I was. Jag var.
Perfekt particip (past participle) anger att någon/något genomgått handlingen som verbet uttrycker.
Exempel I had been. Jag hade varit.
