These verbs need to be learned first
Notes:
- Over time, some verbs from irregular have almost turned into regular ones. For example, even in not very old textbooks it is written that the verb to work- incorrect, it has the form: work - wrought - wrought. Now form wrought almost never used, except in established expressions like "wrought iron" (forged iron), so I did not include it in this table.
- Verbs to learn(learn), to lean(lean) are also more often used as correct ones: learned, leaned, especially in the USA.
- Pay attention to forms read-read-read. The word is spelled the same but pronounced differently.
- Don't confuse the verb wind(twist) and noun wind- wind. They are spelled the same but have different pronunciations and meanings.
- In the British version, the verbs sew pronounced like
In this article you will see: the difference between the verbs "look", "see" and "watch"; verbs similar in meaning and the difference between them; illustrative examples to secure the material.
As in Russian there is a difference between the verbs " look», « see" And " observe", and in English, the difference between " look», « see" And " watch", is also available. These words often cause difficulty for many entry-level students. Not surprising, because they all refer to similar actions that are closely associated with our eyes. But they can hardly be called synonyms. It's better to remember the differences once and for all.
So what is the correct way to "look" in English? Let "s SEE if you can do that. C" mon!
Look verb
look to look (at someone/something). On something motionless, static and unchanging (on a crucifix, on an altar, on one's life (joke), etc.) We deliberately focus our attention on the subject. Often in this meaning the verb is used with the preposition " at».
look at me! - Look at me!
look what have you done! - Look what you've done!
Also, "look" is used at the beginning of a sentence in the sense of "look", in the sense of "listen".
look, there "s nothing to be scared of. - Look, there's nothing to be afraid of.
see verb
See- when we look at something, we direct our gaze to it, then we just see.
After all, we constantly see something: people, animals, objects that fall into our field of vision, whether we focus on them or not.
"See" is a rather similar verb with "notice" - "notice". We notice something with our eyes. The second and third forms of this irregular verb are "saw" and "seen" respectively.
I see him every night in the mirror. - I see him every night in the mirror.
Did you see my new knife? - You saw my new knife?
Also "see" means " realize". You can, for example, look, but not see. Therefore, there is an expression "I see" - "Clear / Understandable."
I wanna hug you. - I see. - I want to hug you. - Clear.
What are you see is what you get. - Accept me as I am.
Watch verb
watch- this verb, in turn, is similar to "look". However, “watch” is not just “looking” at something, but “observing” someone / something that is in action or development. Here the emphasis is on change over time.
He was sitting and watching people. - He sat and observed behind the people.
You can also use "watch" when you want to reprimand or warn someone.
Watch it, young lady! - Watch your expressions, young lady!
watch out, man! - Be careful / beware, boy!
In the latter version, however, “look” will do: “ look out! - Watch out!
In addition, “look out” has other meanings “to look out” (from somewhere); "keep an eye on" or "stand on the lookout".
Now let's compare:
She looks at me. - She looks on me.
She sees me. - She sees me.
She watches me. - She watching Behind me.
Feeling the difference? Feeling... scared?
Please note that TV, for example, we only watch", but some events(TV shows, competitions, matches, etc.) or the same movies with serials we can like " see', and ' watch».
Have you seen/watched"Evil Dead"? Have you seen The Evil Dead?
BTW, speaking of similar verbs, it "s the same thing with" hear"(it is heard by itself, without our will) and" listen(listen to something intentionally).
They often listened to to death metal in the evenings. - They often listened to death metal in the evenings.
He heard some noise from the basement. He heard some noise from the basement.
- stare- look closely; look boldly; stare; stare at someone long time;
- Glare- look at someone intently and fiercely for a long time; look piercing and angry.
- peer- to peer; peer; look through; look at something/someone;
- gaze- stare in one direction; look long without seeing; "stick in"; look with love or surprise at something / someone.
- glance- take a quick look flash your eyes;
- glimpses- see someone quickly and incompletely; see briefly, fleetingly; have a quick look;
- peek- to look furtively, to peep;
- peep- almost the same as "peek" - to sneak a quick glance at something; peep into a small hole (in a keyhole, for example); squint.
- I saw you staring at Tom. - I saw how you stared to Tom.\
- This is a crack that allows us to peer into the future. - This is the crack that will let us peer to the future.
- We glimpsed him through the window as his car sped past. - We are fast looked at him from the window as his car sped by.
- She looked at the man glaring at her from another side of the bus and got scared. She looked at the man glaring at her from the other end of the bus, and got scared.
- I spent years gazing into that mirror, but all I saw reflected back at me was pain. - I spent many years gazing intently in that mirror, but all I saw in it was pain.
- He was sitting quietly glancing through a magazine. He sat quietly skimming through magazine.
- Close your eyes and no peeking! - Close your eyes, and no peeping!
Conclusion
Here is such a useful and concise article for you. If you had doubts about the use of these verbs in certain situations, now they should definitely be dispelled. Keep your eyes open and be cool in English!
I'll tell you a secret: regular and irregular verbs of the English language are the most "favorite" topic for teachers and students when studying English grammar. Fate would have it that the most popular and frequently used in English speech words. For example, the famous phrase "to be or not to be" also contains exactly the wrong verb. And that's the beauty of the British :)
Just think for a second how great it would be to add an ending -ed to the main verbs and get the past tense. And now all English learners are destined to participate in an exciting attraction - memorizing a convenient table of irregular English verbs with translation and transcription.
1. IRREGULAR VERBS
Meet their royal majesty irregular verbs. It won't take long to talk about them. You just need to accept and remember that each verb has its own forms. And it is almost impossible to find any logical connection. It remains only to put a table in front of you and learn how you once memorized the English alphabet.
It's good that there are verbs where all three forms coincide and are pronounced the same (put-put-put). But there are especially harmful forms that are written like twins, but are pronounced differently. (read - read - read ). Just like choosing only the best tea leaves the best varieties for the royal tea party, we have collected the most commonly used irregular verbs, arranged them alphabetically, visually conveniently arranged in a table - we did everything to make you smile and ... learn. In general, only conscientious cramming will save humanity from ignorance of English irregular verbs.
And to make memorization not so boring, you can create your own algorithms. For example, first write out all the verbs where the three forms match. Then those where the two forms coincide (most of them, by the way). Or, let's say, learn words today with the letter "b" (do not think bad), and tomorrow - with another. No limits to fantasy for lovers of English!
And without departing from the cash register, we suggest taking a test for knowledge of irregular verbs.

After this video, you will love learning irregular verbs! Yo! :) ...it is advisable for the impatient to watch from 38 seconds
For fans of an advanced teacher and rap lovers, we offer a backing track for a personal way of learning irregular verbs in the karaoke style, and in the future, perhaps, for recording a new personal video with your teacher / teacher / class. Weak or not weak?
2. REGULAR VERBS
When the most difficult part in the form of irregular verbs is mastered (we want to believe that this is so), you can click like nuts and regular English verbs. They are called so because they form the past tense and participle II in exactly the same way. In order not to load your brain once again, we simply denote their form 2 and form 3. And both of them are obtained with the help of the ending - ed.
For example: look-look,work - worked
2.1 And for those who like to get to the bottom of everything in everything, you can conduct a brief educational program about the mysterious term " participle II". First, why participle? Because how else to designate a three-headed dragon, which has signs of 3 parts of speech at once: a verb, an adjective and an adverb. Accordingly, such a form is always found WITH PARTS (at once with three).
Second, why II? Because there is also I . Quite logical Only participle I has an ending -ing, and participle II has an ending -ed in regular verbs, and any ending in irregular ones ( written , built , come ).
2.2 And everything would be fine, but there are some nuances.
If the verb ends with -y, then you need an ending -ied(study-study).
. If the verb consists of one syllable and ends in a consonant, then it doubles ( stop - stopped).
. The final consonant l is always doubled (travel -travelled)
. If the verb ends in -e, then you only need to add -d(translate - translated)
For especially corrosive and attentive, you can also add pronunciation features. For example, after deaf consonants, the ending is pronounced as “t”, after voiced - “d”, after vowels “id”.
Perhaps you heard / invented / read / spied on a way to minimize effort and maximize the efficiency of memorizing irregular verbs, but for some reason we don’t know it yet. Share not only your smile, but also cramming options to please each other with something interesting
