Weak Verbs
We know that the main tenses of a verb are the present, the past and the past participle and all other tenses are formed from these three forms.
Let’s look at the following examples:
1. curse (present), cursed (past), cursed (past participle)
2. sell (present), sold, (past), sold (past participle)
3. dream (present), dreamt (past), dreamt (past participle)
In the above examples, we have noticed that the past and past participle forms are made by the addition of –ed, -d or –t to the present.
Therefore, Weak Verbs are those which form Past Tense by adding –ed, -d or –t to the Present, with or without vowel change in the body of the word.
