ProfessorRegular verbs follow a predictable pattern when forming their past tense and past participle forms by adding "-ed" or "-d." For example, "walk" becomes "walked." Irregular verbs, on the other hand, do not follow this pattern and have unique past tense and past participle forms. For example, "go" becomes "went" in the past tense and "gone" in the past participle form.
