How well do you know Irregular Verbs

In English language, numerous verbs adjust basically to the past tense with the addition of either - d or - ed, as in bake/baked or love/loved. These are called regular verbs.

Numerous other verbs, in any case, experience drastic or no modifications to transform from present form to past form. Such verbs are called irregular verbs. For Example: catch-caught-caught (without the addition of -d or -ed) ; hurt-hurt-hurt (no change at all)
