What is an irregular past tense verb? 

An irregular past tense verb is a verb that does not follow the usual pattern when forming its past tense. In English, most verbs become past tense when we add -ed to the end (e.g., walk becomes walked, talk becomes talked). 

However, irregular verbs have their own unique past tense forms that don't follow this rule.

What are some irregular past tense verb examples?

Here are a couple of examples of irregular past tense verbs:

• The verb go becomes went in the past tense instead of goed.
• The verb eat becomes ate in the past tense instead of eated.
