Pasado simple (verbos irregulares)
El pasado simple de algunos
verbos ingleses no acaba en –ed, sino que tiene una forma irregular, que es la
misma para todas las personas.
Por ejemplo: `have´ se
convierte en `had´. I had a blue pencil.
Los verbos irregulares no
siguen normas ortográficas generales, por lo que hay que aprendérselos de
memoria.
