Irregular Verb Rules

Pada dasarnya aturan-aturan penggunaan irregular verb sama saja dengan regular verb. Berikut beberapa aturan tersebut.

  1. Subject-Verb Agreement

    Jika subject berupa singular noun (tunggal), irregular verb pada simple present tense base form-nya perlu ditambahi -s atau -es untuk subject: she, he, it, dan orang ketiga tunggal; sedangkan I dan you cukup menggunakan base form. Sebaliknya subject berupa plural noun (jamak), irregular verb pada simple present tense base form-nya tidak perlu ditambahi -s atau -es.

    Contoh Irregular Verb

    • She runs.
    • John runs.
    • I run.
    • They run.
    • People run.
  2. Irregular Verb dan Auxiliary Verb

    Irregular verb digunakan dengan berbagai auxiliary verb untuk membentuk beragam tenses. Misalnya have/has + past participle untuk membentuk
    present perfect tense, had + past participle untuk membuat past perfect tense, will + base form untuk membentuk future tense.

    Contoh Irregular Verb

    • She has left.
    • They have left.
    • Lala had left before the party began.
    • It will leave you speechless.
