Le prétérit et le participe passé des verbes réguliers se forment en ajoutant -ed à la base verbale. Les deux formes sont identiques. Ex. : live (habiter) ➝ lived (prétérit) ➝ lived (participe passé). I lived in Scotland. (J’habitais en Écosse.) You have never lived in Ireland. (Tu n’as jamais habité en Irlande.) ■ Mais il existe également des verbes irréguliers qui ne suivent pas cette règle. Il faut alors apprendre leurs formes par cœur. Ex : know (connaître) ➝ knew (prétérit) ➝ known (participe passé). She knew all the answers. (Elle connaissait toutes les réponses.) You have known her since last month. (Tu la connais depuis le mois dernier.) ■ 2.
