An irregular verb is a verb that doesn't follow the usual rules of grammar for forming its past tense. For example, the simple past tense of the irregular verb "run" is "ran".

Irregular verbs are also known as strong verbs. They can be difficult to use correctly because they don't fit into the usual pattern. To use them correctly, you have to memorize their past simple and past participle forms.
There are four types of irregular verbs: Type 1: Verbs with the same base form, past simple, and past participle Type 2: Verbs with the same past simple and past participle Type 3: Verbs with the same base form and past participle Type 4: Verbs with different base forms, past simple, and past participle
Strong irregular verbs are determined by the spelling change of a verb when converted into its past tense and past participle form. For example, the verb "go" is a strong irregular verb because it has a different form for each of the verb tenses: "go", "went", and "gone".
