V1 V2 V3 Form of Verbs

When studying English, it is required of you to first understand the meanings of particular terms before arranging the words in the appropriate order according to grammatical rules. Regular verbs and irregular verbs are the two types of verbs that are used in English. The primary cause for this discrepancy is the difference in verbs between Past Perfect Tense (V2) and Present Perfect Tense (V3) sentences.

When using the Simple Past Tense and Past Participle forms of sentences, regular verbs are suffixed with the -d, -ed, and -ied suffixes, however, irregular verbs do not adhere to this rule. They take on an entirely different verb than the present (V1) form of the word.

What are V1, V2, V3 forms of Regular Verbs?

In the V2 and V3 forms of regular verbs, it is sufficient to add -d, -ed, or -ied to the end of the verb. For example, the words walk, talk, brush, walk, try, care, cry, like are all regular verbs.

Regular verbs ending in e only take -d in the past tense

• I care for you.
• I cared for you before.
• I like hamburgers a lot.
• I liked hamburgers a lot last year.

Most regular verbs in English have -ed in their V2 and V3 forms. These verbs end with a consonant

• I walk to school every day.
• I walked to school every day when I was a kid.
• I brush my hair after I take a shower.
• I brushed my hair after I took a shower.
• I talk to my friends whenever I have a problem
• I talked to my friends whenever I had a problem.

For verbs ending with the letter y, the letter y is dropped, and -ied is replaced with it

• I try so hard to get good grades.

When I was a student, I tried so hard to get good grades.

• The baby cries all night.

The baby cried all night yesterday.

What are V1, V2, V3 forms of Irregular Verbs?

Those verbs that lack the -ed suffix are known as irregular verbs in the English language. The V2 and V3 forms of these verbs are distinct from the V1 forms, and you should make regular use of these various forms and keep them in mind as you learn new vocabulary. Many resources provide lists of irregular verbs in all tenses, which are freely accessible. The terms buy, drink, and get, for example, are all irregular verbs.

• I buy a carton of milk every day.

I bought a carton of milk every day when I was a kid.

• I only drink Coke.

I only drank Coke at last night’s party.

• I get good grades every year.

Back when I was a student, I got good grades every year.

Reminder

In negative sentences of past tense, the V2 turns into V1 again whether the word is regular or irregular.

• I talked to her last night.

I didn’t talk to her last night.

• I bought a gift.

I didn’t buy a gift.
