Kata-kata yang dicetak miring di atas merupakan kata kerja beraturan (regular verb) bentuk lampau (V2) yang digunakan dalam simple past tense. Ciri dari kata kerja beraturan adalah dengan penambahan –ed/-d pada akhir kata dengan memperhatikan:

-            bentuk infinitive yang berakhir dengan huruf konsonan ‘ch/sh/s/x’ ditambah      -ed:  watch → watched

-            bentuk infinitive yang berakhir dengan huruf vokal ‘e’ hanya ditambah –d:

describe → described

 receive   → received

-            bentuk infinitive yang berakhir dengan huruf konsonan ‘y’ didahului oleh konsonan lain, maka ‘y’ diganti dengan ‘i’ lalu ditambah –ed: fry → fried

cry          → cried

study      → studied

 hurry      → hurried

-            bentuk infinitive yang berakhir dengan huruf konsonan p,d,b,g,m,n,r,t yang didahului huruf vokal  maka huruf konsonan tersebut ditulis double sebelum ditambah  –ed:  stop → stopped, mop →  mopped, plan →  planned.

b. Irregular Verbs

2.    We found a nice batik shirt.
