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.
