Penjelasan:
Untuk irregular verb (kata kerja tak beraturan), pembentukan verb-2 (dipakai untuk kalimat simple past tense) tidak mengikuti kaidah yang umum yaitu menambahkan -ed atau -d di akhir verb tersebut, tapi dia mengalami perubahan ejaan/huruf, perubahan ucapan atau tidak berubah sama sekali dari verb1 nya.
Contoh yang berubah ejaannya: soal nomor 1: dari make menjadi made
Contoh yang ejaan tidak berubah tapi pengucapan berubah: soal nomor 11: read menjadi read (sama tulisannya) tapi diucapkan berbeda. Kalau verb 1 dibaca: riid, tapi dalam verb2 dibaca red
Contoh yang tidak ada perubahan sama sekali: coal nomor 2: cut. Tidak berubah baik tulisan maupun pengucapan.
