3. irregular verbs

Regular verbs (Group 1)

• normal rule is verb + ed:  work -> worked
• verb ends in -e, add +d:    live-> lived
• verbs of one syllable (1 vowel + 1 consonant), double the consonant: stop -> stopped / plan -> planned
• BUT if the final consonant is -y or -w, it is not doubled: play -> played
• most two-syllable verbs the end consonant is doubled if the stress is on the second syllable: prefer -> preferred
• Verbs that end in a consonant +y, ending changes in -ied: carry -> carried / cry -> cried
