Vèb iregilye yo gen *twa fòm espesifik* ou bezwen memorize. Pandan ke pifò vèb regilye angle yo itilize tèminasyon *-ed* pou tan pase ak fòm patisip, vèb iregilye *yo chak gen pwòp fòm tan ak patisip pase inik yo.*
Twa fòm yo se:

2. *Fòm senp pase a* (sa w ap aprann nan kou sa a)
3. *Fòm patisip pase* (nou pral aprann kijan pou nou itilize sa pita)
Li enpòtan e pi fasil pou aprann tout twa fòm yo an menm tan. Ann kòmanse ak sa ki pi enpòtan yo:
