Irregular verbs in the English language can be grouped into four groups:
1. The form of the past tense and the second participle formed the same way: changing the vowel in the root, and as a result, changing the writing end.For example:
bring (bring) - brought - brought;
seek (seek) - sought - sought.
2. The form of the past tense and participle second differ: in the past tense at the root of the word, the sound gets a diphthong, and the formation of the sacrament is added and the end:
speak (speak) - spoke - spoken;
choose (select) - chose - chosen.
3. The easiest group: words that do not change:
cut (cut) - cut - cut;
bet (bet) - bet - bet.
4. Irregular verbs vary according to the end:
bend (flex) - bent - bent
build (build) - built - built
