[Grammar] Regular and irregular verbs
This is more a question of vocabulary than of grammar. The only real difference between regular and irregular verbs is that they have different endings for their past tense and past participle forms. For regular verbs, the past tense ending and past participle ending is always the same: -ed. For irregular verbs, the past tense ending and the past participle ending is variable, so it is necessary to learn them by heart.

regular verbs: base, past tense, past participle

look, looked, looked
work, worked, worked
irregular verbs: base, past tense, past participle

buy, bought, bought
cut, cut, cut
do, did, done
Here are lists of regular verbs and irregular verbs.
