Practice using these by putting them into sentences using the base form, simple past and past participle. Other verbs which fit into this constant group include ‘let’, ‘cost’, ‘put’ and so on. Past Participle (passive tense here): ‘My leg was hurt.’ (adjective use) ‘My hurt leg was painful.’ These are irregular verbs where the same form is used in the base, past simple and past participle. Sadly, there is no way beyond the hard grafts of learning and practising because, as the name suggests, irregular verbs do not follow a pattern. We have called each group by a name which will help us to remember them. Irregular Verbsīut these are not! Because, like oddly shaped piece of furniture which does not fit easily into a room, so the 200 or so irregular verbs do not fit easily into a sentence.Ī top tip is to learn irregular verbs in four separate groups. The same is true for ‘arrive’, for ‘wait’ and so forth, (We still add ‘ing’ when we use the gerund, and add ‘to’ when turning it into).ĭo, for example, the verb ‘call’ is ‘call’ in its base form, then ‘called’ in both the past simple and past participle. If the verb ends in a ‘y’ we change the last letter to an ‘I’ and then add the ‘ed’. We simply add ‘ed’ – ‘d’ if the verb already ends in an ‘e’ to turn the verb from its base form to the past simple or past participle form. We would expect it to be ‘singed’, but the word changes to ‘sung’. The other, though, starts to go wrong in the past participle. The second of these, ‘finish’ follows the rules to a tee and is therefore a regular verb. We have worked on two verbs in these examples, ‘sing’ and ‘finish’. ‘It was finished.’įinally, we can use the verb as an adjective, ‘The song is finished.’ We can use the passive form, which is preceded by an auxiliary (or helping) verb such as ‘was’. Usually, but not always, the addition of ‘ed’ turns the verb into the present perfect. The first is called the present perfect.Īs we can see, the action has just happened, it is in the present.

then 3.Get started for free It’s Finished – The Part Participleįinally, we can use all verbs in three basic past participle forms. Now my questions are as follows: 1.Do "other artistic creations" include music, dance etc? According to the literary present, the work of artists or the work of fiction or artistic creations are assumed to exist in an eternal present.so,The famous singer Micheal Jackson, Kisor Kumar(A Hindi singer) are not alive.But their works I mean, their songs (Remember the time,Beat it,etc) still continue through recordings.So In this case, 2.Am I correct to say Micheal Jackson sings this song "Remember the time" ? or Micheal Jackson sings all of these songs Remember the time,Beat it,You are not? If I want to focus on historical information about the artist, not their works,say Micheal Jackson. When you are writing about writers or artists as they express themselves in their work, stay in present tense." This is the context. "Literary works, paintings, films, and "other artistic creations" are assumed to exist in an eternal present.
