Irregular Verbs

Here are some examples of normal verbs in their present and past tenses. 


	PRESENT		PAST
	  jump		  jumped
	  yell		  yelled
	  lift		  lifted
	  play		  played
To change these verbs from present to past tense you just add -ed. Not all verbs work like these. Some verbs are irregular (and the add -ed rule does not apply to them). Here are a few examples: 

	PRESENT		PAST
	  run		  ran
	  eat		  ate
	  read		  read 
	  stand		  stood
	  take		  took
