Talk:English irregular verbs

Untitled
Someone more qualified to discuss this than me should mention that many (I suppose most) irregular verbs in English were once regular verbs in Old English, and they have inherited the sound changes from their Old English conjugations. Bugloaf (talk) 13:50, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * You are right. It is technically incorrect to refer to strong verbs as irregular verbs in English. True "irregular" verbs in English, in the sense of being "anomalous", are verbs like "go" or "do", which are neither weak nor strong. I suggest that a professional linguist review this article. 161.24.19.44 (talk) 20:21, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Rename page?
There aren't really "irregular" verbs, except perhaps be. There's strong verbs (all seven classes), dental preterites, and the anomalous do, go, and grammaticalized will. This page probably could do with a rewrite.
