Regular Verb List

A regular verb is conjugated in a traditional form. For example, "bake" is a regular verb because the past tense is "baked" and the future tense is "will bake." However, a word such as "write" is an irregular verb, because the past tense form is not "writed," but is rather "wrote." You may be surprised to see how many regular verbs appear in the English language, many of which are in the sample list below.
