1. Simple Past – Verbos Irregulares
As formas do Simple Past dos verbos irregulares variam de
um para outro e, portanto, devem ser memorizadas. Como
no caso dos verbos regulares, os irregulares têm uma
forma única para todas as pessoas.
to go (ir)  went to do (fazer)  did
to see (ver)  saw to come (vir)  come
BobCheck: Essas mudanças só são válidas nas formas
afirmativas.

2. Para os verbos regulares, a forma do passado é igual à do
particípio passado.No caso dos irregulares, às vezes
acontece o mesmo, mas muitos têm formas para o
passado distintas do particípio passado:
O particípio passado é necessário para a formação dos
tempos perfeitos (Present Perfect, Past Perfect, Future
Perfect etc.) e também para a voz passiva, assuntos que
serão tratados mais adiante. Essas formas de particípio
dos verbos irregulares devem ser memorizadas junto com
as do passado.

(v.i.) to buy (comprar) bought bought
