Bonus Activity<\/strong><\/h5>\nAs you have seen in Webster\u2019s definition, the word sought<\/em> is a form of the verb seek<\/em>.\u00a0 Look carefully at the three sentences below:<\/p>\n1) Robyn and Philip seek the socks.<\/em><\/p>\n2) Robyn and Philip sought the socks.<\/em><\/p>\n3) Robyn and Philip, having sought the socks, left for Angle\u2019s Cove.<\/em><\/p>\nNow look at three more sentences:<\/p>\n
1) Philip and Robyn look for the socks.<\/em><\/p>\n2) Philip and Robyn looked for the socks.<\/em><\/p>\n3) Philip and Robyn, having looked for the socks, left for Angle\u2019s cove.<\/em><\/p>\nIn the first set of sentences, the word seek<\/em> changes dramatically to become sought<\/em>.\u00a0 This is unusual in the English language.\u00a0 Normally, when a verb changes to the past tense<\/em> (sentence 2) or the perfect participle<\/em> (sentence 3), we only add the letters \u201ced.\u201d\u00a0 You can see this in the second set of sentences.<\/p>\nVerbs which use the ending \u201ced\u201d to form their past tense<\/em> and perfect participle<\/em> are called regular verbs<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 Look<\/em> is an example of a regular verb.<\/p>\nVerbs which do not<\/em> use the ending \u201ced\u201d to form their past tense<\/em> and perfect participle<\/em> are called irregular verbs<\/em>.\u00a0 <\/strong>Sought<\/em> is an example of an irregular verb.<\/p>\nThis explanation uses a lot of technical terms, but you can easily learn to recognise irregular verbs without an in-depth study of past tense<\/em> and perfect participle<\/em>:<\/p>\nFill in the blanks in the following sentences, with each of the words given below.\u00a0 You will need to change each verb in some way to make it fit into sentences 2 and 3.\u00a0 If you can add \u201ced\u201d to make both of these changes, then the word is a regular verb.\u00a0 If you cannot, it is an irregular one.<\/p>\n
1) Philip and Robyn _______ the socks (right now).<\/p>\n
2) Philip and Robyn _______ the socks (in the past).<\/p>\n
3) Philip and Robyn, having _______ the socks, left for Angle\u2019s cove.<\/p>\n
