19.8.21
Today we are going to learn "Past simple: irregular verb forms". An irregular verb means it is not following the usual rules of grammar. For example, ‘eat’ is an irregular verb because its past tense is ‘ate’ and its past participle is ‘eaten’, not ‘eated’. Likewise, 'hide' is an irregular verb because its past tense is 'hid' and its past participle is 'hid'.
Most verbs have a past tense and past participle with –ed:
For example, brush, brushed - wash, washed
But many of the most frequent verbs are irregular:
eat, ate, eaten α ားαα်
drink, drank, drunk αေαောα်αα်
take, took, taken αူαα်
go, went, gone αွားαα်
be was/were been αှိαα်/αြα ်αα်
begin began begun α αα်αα်
break broke broken α‘α်αွဲα ေαα်။ αွဲαα်။ αျိုးαα်။ αွဲα ေαα်။ αျα်α ီးα ေαα်။
bring brought brought αူαာαα်။ αါαာαα်။ αα်αောα် αာαα်။ αေါ်αာαα်။
buy bought bought αα်αα်။ αα်αေးαα်။
