In English, a verb has more than one form, typically four: V1, V2, V3, and V4. Most verbs have the suffix "ed" for their V2 form, and the same V2 form will be their V3 form. However, some verbs don't follow this rule; instead, they have a V2 form without "ed" and a V3 form that is quite different from their V2 form. Such verbs are called irregular verbs in English. This blog post will feature common irregular verbs in English. Additionally, you should be aware that some verbs have different V2 and V3 forms in American and British English. Moreover, many verbs that have an "ed" V2 form but a different V3 form have started to use the "ed" form as their V3 form as well, alongside the former one. arise arose arisen awake awaked/awoke awoken beat beat beaten bear bore born/borne become became become befall befell befallen begin began begun bend bent bent bet bet bet bind bound bound bite bit bitten bleed bled bled blow blew blown break broke broke...

As an ESL speaker, you can follow either the American or British way of telling the date. This blog will explain how to tell the date in American English, which differs from the British way and is more casual. In the American system, the month comes first, followed by the day in ordinal form, and then the year.   For example, the date 1/3/2021 is pronounced as "January third, 2021" or "January the third, 2021." For full dates like this, the preposition "on" is used, as in "The meeting is scheduled on January third, 2021."     Note that British and other Commonwealth countries follow a different practice, putting the day first, followed by the month. So, the same date (1/3/2021) would be pronounced as "the third of January, 2021" by those following British English.   Common ways of asking about/for dates are as follows! What day is it today? What day is it tomorrow? What date is it today? What date is it tomorrow? What is the date today...
