The Irregular Verbs 

# don't follow the rules as we have learned them. 

# change in vowelsound (I fly, I flew, I have flown)

# change in word ( I go, I went, I have gone)

# don't change at all (I hit, I hit, I have hit)

The past tense in English comes in past simple (verleden tijd) and past particible (voltooid deelwoord).

Net als in het Nederlands is het voltooid deelwoord nooit het enige werkwoord in een zin.

verleden tijd: De vaas brak. => The vase broke.

voltooid dw: De vaas IS gebroken. => The vase IS broken.
