Verbos Irregulares em Inglês

Imagem
Embora os verbos irregulares se constituam numa pequena minoria em relação a todos os verbos existentes na língua, a frequência com que ocorrem é muito alta, o que lhes dá uma importância significativa. São todos de origem anglo-saxônica e se referem predominantemente a ações comuns. Os verbos irregulares do inglês são aqueles verbos que não seguem a regra geral de formação do Passado e do Particípio Passado. A formação do  Past  e do  Past Participle,  de acordo com a regra geral, que se aplica a todos os demais verbos, se dá através do sufixo  - ed . Portanto, todo verbo que não seguir este padrão, será classificado de irregular.

What do you hear when I say: “smell ed “, as in, “it smell ed  bad.” 2) The -ed verb ending sounds like a [d]: “smelled” [smeld] And when I say, “visited”, as in “I visited New York City”, how did I pronounce  that “-ed” ending? [Id]  [vizitid]. 3) The -ed verb ending sounds like [ ɪ d], [vizitid]. This lesson teaches you the three rules that explain the differences in past tense verb “-ed” pronunciation.
