Los 100 verbos irregulares más usados en inglés

🎯 Nivel A2

Los verbos regulares agregan -ED (walk → walked). Los irregulares cambian de forma y hay que memorizarlos (go → went). Solo son cerca del 15% de los verbos, pero son los más comunes, así que vale la pena aprenderlos.

Repaso rápido: cómo funciona

✅ Afirmativo: usa la columna Past

I went home. · She saw him. · We ate tacos.

🚫 Negativo y ❓ pregunta: DID lleva el pasado, el verbo vuelve a la forma base

I didn't go. · Did you see him? · What did you eat?

🕐 Participle: va con have / has / had (y en pasiva)

I have gone. · She has seen it. · It is made in Mexico.

✔ Sí I went. / I didn't go. / Did you go?

✘ No I goed. / I didn't went. / Did you went?

🇲🇽

Igual que en español, pero más fácil

El español tiene fui, fuiste, fue, fuimos…; el inglés tiene solo went para todos: I went, you went, she went, we went. Única excepción: be tiene dos formas (I/he/she/it was, you/we/they were).

📌

Verbos que no cambian

Hay verbos con las tres formas iguales: put, let, set, cut, hit, hurt, shut, cost, quit, bet, spread, split. Cuidado con read: se escribe igual, pero el pasado suena /rɛd/.
