Los verbos irregulares son aquellos que no siguen una regla al ser conjugados en pasado, es decir, no se utiliza la regla del «d», «ed» o «ied», sino que cambian su forma. La lista es extensa y para memorizar estos verbos es necesario practicar mucho, crear frases, utilizar los verbos más comunes y prestar atención a las frases de canciones y películas para poder memorizarlos de forma natural.
A continuación, se muestra la lista de verbos irregulares en inglés:
