ANOMALOUS VERBS
Anomalous verbs, also known as irregular verbs, do not follow the typical conjugation patterns in English. Unlike regular verbs, which form their past tense and past participles by adding “-ed” (e.g., walk becomes walked), anomalous verbs change in unpredictable ways. Examples include the verb to be, which has forms like am, is, are in the present, and was, were in the past, with the past participle been. Similarly, to have changes from have, has in the present to had in both the past and past participle. These verbs are essential for constructing various tenses, questions, and negations, and mastering them is crucial for fluency in English.
