VERBOS IRREGULARES

Los verbos regulares son los ms comunes en ingls y tienen una caracterstica
fundamental que los distinguen del resto. Estos verbos forman el pasado y el participio
aadiendo -ED. P.e. work-worked, pray-prayed. La dificultad de estos verbos estriba
en la pronunciacin de esos pasados y participio en -ED.
Quiz sea conveniente advertir de principio que ninguno de esos pasados y participio
se pronuncian /ed/, tienen tres posibles pronunciaciones dependiendo de la consonante
que anteceda a la terminacin -ED. As:
1.- Si el verbo regular en infinitivo termina en consonante sorda (voiceless) como
/c/-/h/-/k/-/p/-/r/-/w/-/v/, entonces el pasado y del participio de dicho verbo se
pronunciar ( T). Por ejemplo: voiced /voist/ - worked /workt/ - stopped /stopt/ remembered /ribmbert/- chewed /chiut/-moved /mut/
2.- Si el verbo regular en infinitivo termina en consonante sonora (voiced) como por
ejemplo: /n/ - /m/ - /l/, su pasado y del participio se pronunciar con el sonido (D)
como en: cleaned /klind/ - killed /kild/
3.- Por ltimo si el verbo regular en infinitivo acaba en "t" o "d", la pronunciacin
del pasado y del participio ser (id). P.e. painted /peintid/ o decided /disaidid/
Nota: Los verbos regulares que acaban en (-e), lgicamente no se le aaden -ED
en pasado o en participio sino que slo a aaden (-D), como en love-loved, smokesmoked
Recuerde que los verbos en el participio pasado llevan delante la palabra have (ha) has (ha)- had (haba)- was (era) - were (estaba). Ejem: have arisen -was become.
