Verbs in English have four basic parts:
| Base form | -ing form | Past tense | Past participle |
|---|---|---|---|
| work | working | worked | worked |
| play | playing | played | played |
| listen | listening | listened | listened |
Most verbs have past tense and past participle in –ed (worked, played, listened). But many of the most frequent verbs are irregular.
