Frequently asked questions
How many irregular verbs do I need?
English has a few hundred, but around 100–150 common ones cover everyday use and exams such as TOEIC and IELTS.
Why learn them by sound pattern?
Verbs in a group change the same way (sing-sang-sung, drink-drank-drunk), so one pattern unlocks the whole group.
How is the quiz marked?
You type V2 and V3; verbs with two accepted forms (was / were, learned / learnt) take either one.
When do I use V2 and V3?
V2 is the simple past (I went). V3 goes with have/has/had and the passive (I have gone, it was written).
Is the table free?
Yes. Look-up, audio and the quiz are free with no sign-in.
