Regular and irregular verbs


you know what they are verbs? Verbs are words that indicate action, state, or phenomenon. When it comes to push-ups, this is the richest class.

This class, when conjugated, can be divided between regular and irregular verbs. Furthermore, it is possible to state that verbs are divided into three types of conjugation, which depend on the way the word ends.

For example, verbs of the first conjugation end in -air. The ones of the second, in -er and the third in -go. Check out the differences between regular and irregular verbs.

Verbal endings

To understand regular and irregular verbs, it is important to know what an ending is. At endings are the morphemes that indicate the mode, tense, number and person of a verb. Here are the classifications:

  • Temporal mode ending: It refers to the mode or action in which the action is taking place;
  • Personal number ending: Refers to the number and person of the verb.

Regular verbs

Regular verbs are those that follow the same model at the time of conjugation, keeping the stem invariant. Check out some conjugations:
