Printable Flashcards to Learn 92 Irregular Verbs

Irregular verbs are considered to be one of the most challenging English grammar aspects especially for non-native speakers who start learning the language. This is why I have to return to the subject of irregular verbs now and then to help my students retain all the verb forms in their memories. Although I have plenty of grammar books, worksheets and other materials such as printable puzzles for teaching irregular verbs, there seems to be never enough resources for this incredibly hard part of the English language. It is especially true when it comes to teaching English to small kids who are very reluctant to memorize boring stuff. So, trying to make the process of learning irregular verbs more fun, I have designed a set of colorful printable flashcards.

I have created irregular verbs flashcards that incorporate the base form, simple past and past participle of the verbs along with relevant pictures helping form the association between words and their meaning. Since the majority of people are visual learners, I thought the visually appealing flashcards would help me effectively teach even the most boring grammar stuff to young students. Teachers using these flashcards can also cut off the simple past and past participle part to use it for some matching activities in the classroom. The flashcards are rather large and can be easily printed on A4 paper sheets or bigger formats if needed.

My collection of images allowed me to create flashcards to learn 92 irregular verbs. Here is a list of all of them: be, beat, become, bite, blow, break, bring, build, burn, buy, catch, choose, come, cost, cut, dig, dive, draw, dream, drink, drive, eat, fall, feed, feel, fight, find, fly, forbid, forget, freeze, get, give, go, grow, hang, have, hear, hide, hit, hold, hurt, know, lead, learn, leave, lend, let, lie, lose, make, mean, meet, pay, put, read, ride, ring, rise, run, say, see, sell, send, sew, shake, shine, shoot, show, sing, sink, sit, sleep, slide, smell, speak, spend, spread, stand, steal, sweep, swim, swing, take, tell, think, throw, understand, wake, wear, win, write.

I will be publishing my irregular verbs flashcards on my blog in the form images. My fellow EFL and ESL teachers and parents are welcome to use them for English classes. If you need high resolution printer-ready PDF version of this set of flashcards, you are welcome to buy it here.

This post contains 19 irregular verbs flashcards designed in yellow color. All these verbs have the letter t at the end of their Past Simple and Past Participle forms. Some verbs change the vowel sound in the middle of the verbs, like in sit – sat – sat, meet – met – met. Some verbs ending with d replace it with t, for example send - sent - sent, build - built - built. Sometimes t is just added to the whole word changing the pronunciation, like in deal – dealt – dealt, mean – meant – meant.

Irregular Verbs Puzzle Flashcards (Part 1)

Today I have a wonderful opportunity to share my new set of irregular verbs puzzle flashcards with fellow teachers and parents. Everybody knows all English verbs can be divided into two groups: regular and irregular. Past Simple and Past Participle forms of the regular verbs are built by adding -ed to the main form. Irregular verbs aren’t formed according to this general rule. There’s no rule of building them at all. Children should just remember these forms by heart.

Teaching irregular verbs to ESL students can be a rather challenging task. There are many types of activities a teacher can use while introducing this grammar topic to children. Based on my experience, I’ve designed a colorful set of irregular verbs flashcards in the form of puzzles as an interesting way of practicing irregular verbs while playing. Each puzzle contains an image illustrating an irregular verb. Then there are three pieces with the Infinitive, Past Simple and Past Participle forms of the verb. Below you can see some examples of using these forms in sentences. I used only such tenses as Present Simple, Past Simple and Present Perfect so that kids could focus on these irregular forms without getting lost in the complicated system of English tenses and structures.
