Verbos irregulares en inglés – go, buy, see

Grammar: Irregular Verbs – go, buy, see

Of the many common irregular verbs used in English, let’s look at the following three: go, buy, and see. You will come across these words often in your speech. These verbs are irregular because their past tense is very different from the present.

 

 

In English, we add –ed to the end of a verb to make it past tense; for example,

walk→walked        love→loved        cook→cooked

Some verbs in English are irregular though, so instead of adding –ed to the end of the verb, the past tense form of the verb changes in another way. Look at these common irregular verbs, and see how their past form is different.

Present tense	Past tense
go	went
buy	bought
see	saw
