Verbs are one of the most identifiable parts of a sentence and one can cite an endless number of examples for verbs.  There are three basic parts of a verb:

i)                    Present Tense

ii)                   Past Tense, and

iii)                 Future Tense

Examples:

Note that the first four examples for past tense in the above table are derived by adding an “ed” to their respective present tenses. In the last example, however, the past tense of “sleep” does not follow a similar pattern. The correct word is “slept,” and not “sleeped”. Verbs that do not follow a regular “ed” pattern to become past tense are called Irregular Verbs. Such verbs do not have any set pattern for past tense or its past participle.

There are plenty of examples for irregular verbs:
