Content and Overview

Designed with English as a Second Language (ESL) and English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in mind, this course is meant to make one of the most complicated aspects of the English language simple and easy to understand. While native English speakers learn irregular verbs by interacting with other native English speakers when they are children, ESL and EFL learners don't have this same advantage.

Most teachers and professors say that memorization is the only way to learn irregular verbs, but that is not all there is to it. While memorization is important, there are many ways to make recognizing and remembering these irregular verbs much easier.

With these lessons, you will learn, not just the basics about what makes an irregular verb irregular, but also how to recognize these verbs when you see them. Perhaps more importantly, though, you will learn that while most irregular verb conjugations seem random, there are patterns and similarities between these verbs. Knowing this allows you to group verbs together and learn them in batches, which takes the challenge out of mastering one of the most frustrating parts of the English language.

In this course, we will take a look at four main types of irregular verbs. We begin with the top ten most common irregular verbs, which are used on a daily basis by all native English speakers. Once you have mastered those, we will cover two of the most prevalent irregular verb patterns in the English language, and we will wrap things up by learning how to conjugate some of the most difficult, seemingly random irregular verbs in existence.

When you have completed all of the sections in the course, you will have gained the ability to recognize and conjugate irregular verbs of all types. You will know how to use several tips and tricks to make learning verbs easier, and you will gain some new insights into the English language as a whole, which will vastly improve your English reading, writing and speaking skills.
