the past tense of irregular verbs is not formed by adding -d or -ed. For example, the past tense of the verb eat is not eated; it is ate. The past tense of fall is not falled; it is fell. Verbs like eat and fall are known as irregular verbs because they do not follow the rule for forming the past tense.
