Los verbos irregulares en inglés son aquellos que no siguen las reglas generales de conjugación en pasado simple y participio pasado. A diferencia de los verbos regulares que simplemente añaden «-ed» al final, los verbos irregulares cambian completamente su forma.
Este cambio puede parecer un desafío, pero con un poco de esfuerzo y dedicación, podrás aprenderlos sin problemas.
Hoy vamos a ayudarte con los verbos irregulares, dándote un listado de verbos irregulares muy amplio y proporcionándote ejercicios para que puedas practicar y mejorar tu inglés de forma efectiva.
