So, instead of one messy table we\u2019ll make smaller logical ones. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Table #1 is for verbs that do not change at all. These are verbs like put-put-put, cut-cut-cut, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Table #2 is for verbs whose past simple and past participle forms end with\u00a0<strong>\u2013<\/strong>ought\/-aught. Like Think-thought-thought, bring-brought-brought etc.<\/li>\n<li>Table #3 is for verbs whose past simple and past participle forms are the same. Have-had-had, get-got-got, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogHeadingText\" id=\"blogHeadingText-block_62bdf4ede57d7\">\n    <div class=\"blogHeadingText__wrapper\" >\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__heading\">\n            <h2 class=\"blogHeadingText__headingItem\" data-blog-heading data-section-id=\"blogHeadingText-block_62bdf4ede57d7\">\n                Memory Device Technique            <\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"blogHeadingText__content\">\n            <p>On the Internet, there are plenty of rhymes to help you memorise all the toughest verbs. There is no doubt that rhymes are much easier and cooler than tables.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>The boss lose-lost-lost his honey.<br \/>\n<\/em><em>It cost-cost-cost him a lot of money.<br \/>\n<\/em><em>Or: When I grow-grew-grown<br \/>\n<\/em><em>I wanted to fly-flew-flown<br \/>\n<\/em><em>As I knew-know-known<br \/>\n<\/em><em>I will wear-wore-worn a uniform.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The more absurd the rhyme, the easier it is to remember the words.

You can memorise and practice irregular verbs with regular updates of\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Novakid<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>interactive programs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quick Start<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And finally, maybe as your power move, you\u2019d like to learn the most common irregular verbs? Then here they are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Say, said, said<\/li>\n<li>Go, went, gone<\/li>\n<li>Come, came, come<\/li>\n<li>Know, knew, known<\/li>\n<li>Get, got, gotten<\/li>\n<li>Give, gave, given<\/li>\n<li>Become, became, become<\/li>\n<li>Find, found, found<\/li>\n<li>Think, thought, thought<\/li>\n<li>See, saw, seen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, if you ever plan to brag that you know all the irregular verbs, you\u2019ll have to try harder than that. In the English language, there are about five hundred of them. The majority are outdated, though, and out of use. Even the most erudite of Englishmen use no more than two hundred.\u00a0 If a kid has enough motivation and determination, they can learn them in two months, no problem!<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ah, irregular verbs \u2013 a thorn in the side of generations upon generations of students.
