TEST YOUR ENGLISH! Irregular Past Participles
Do we say "I have catched a cold" or, "I have caught a cold"? From present simple to present perfect, how do you know which past participle to use? Wait a minute. Use a PAST participle with the present perfect? Yes! In fact, there are two types of irregular past participles, and in this lesson, I will teach you when to use them. Be sure to complete the quiz at www.engvid.com/irregular-past... to confirm your understanding.

TRANSCRIPT
Hello. I'm Gill at www.engvid.com, and today's lesson is on irregular past tenses. Okay? And in particular: "Irregular Past Participles"-okay?-of irregular verbs. So, let me just show you some examples to make it clearer what I mean. Okay.
So what we're doing, we're looking at three different tenses to show how the verb changes, so the present simple of the verb, then the past simple, and then when we use the present perfect that's when you have to use the past participle. And what happens is sometimes it's the same for both the past simple and the present perfect, but with other verbs it's different. So I just have two examples here to show you, one verb where it's the same and one verb where it's different just to illustrate. And then in the second part of the lesson we will have a list of two separate sets of verbs, and I will test you on your knowledge of the past participles of those and they're listed under "same" and "different" just to clarify which ones stay the same, which ones are different. Okay. So let's have a look at some examples, and then it should all become clearer.
So, first of all, this is the present simple: "I catch a cold every winter." Every winter, achoo, I'm sneezing. Oh, terrible, every winter I catch a cold. So for something that happens regularly, that is one way that we use the present simple when something happens regularly. Every, every winter I catch a cold, so the verb is "to catch", okay? So then if we put it into the past tense, the past simple and we say: "Last month... I caught a cold last month." Okay? So: "caught" is the irregular past simple form of the verb "to catch". "I caught a cold last month." I caught a cold last month, but I'm much better now. That sort of idea. Okay. So then the third example here is using the present perfect which involves using this word: "have" as an auxiliary, as an extra verb. So: "I have caught another cold!" Oh dear, I only had a cold... I caught a cold last month, and now I have caught another cold. That's one cold after another. So this is in the more recent past, the present perfect using "have": "I have caught another cold." Meaning just recently. So you can see here that "caught" stays the same, it's the same. So it's an example where the past simple and the present perfect stay the same, but let's have a look now at an example where there's a change and where they're different. Okay?
So, back to the present simple again and the verb is "to write", which is an irregular verb, so: "I write to my cousin once a year." I have a cousin who is not on email, and it makes it rather inconvenient to keep in touch with her, so writing letters and putting them in the post I find a terrible job these days. I'm so used to using email for everybody, but I have a cousin who's not on email and she will not have a computer. So I have to write a letter to her. "I write to my cousin once a year." Okay? So, again, that's using the present simple for a regular action. Once a year is the regular action, I write. Okay, so then if we move to the past simple: "Last week... I wrote to my cousin last week." So that's the past simple. So, the form there for the past simple is "wrote", from "write" to "wrote", but then if we use the present perfect using the auxiliary "have": "Today... I have written to my cousin today." So recent past, it's a completed action. "I have written". Thank goodness I've got that letter written and posted, and it's gone now, so that's a job done for the year. So: "I have written", so you can see there that this form is not the same. They're the same here: "I caught", "I have caught", but with "write": "I wrote", "I have written to my cousin today." So you can see how past simple and present perfect with different verbs, sometimes they stay the same, other times they're different. Okay. So let's move on to the second part of the lesson, and we'll have a look at two lists of verbs, and I will test you on your knowledge of the past participles.
Okay, so let's have a look at these which are the verbs which stay the same in the past simple and the present perfect, and I will just write that form in, but just to give you an opportunity first to think what it is. So: "to send", I send in the present.

You mean those who hold no connection with the Royal Family are not polite ! I am from India and have a high esteem and love for Britain.I think almost all the British people are polite and courteous not only the Royal members.

I always get hipnotized by your classes on KZread. Keep amazing us with your natural talent and thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. ❤️
Gill is incredible! Such a pleasure to hear her talking, her amazingly clear accent (not even an accent, this is how English should sound). Why can't everybody in the UK sound like her?
It’s always good to review the essentials. Nice one, Gill!

English is my first language, but growing up I was in French immersion and learned my verb conjugations in French. I used to be fluent in French, but haven't had to use it in many years. When I would have English paragraphs, I would have to translate them to French to know where the verbs were and what tense it would be. Sitting here listening to these videos is fun for me. I still get mixed up in the definitions of the verb conjugations. For the most part, I know what to say when given a phrase but to explain it is a completely different animal 😂 Loving these videos.
Thank you teacher Gill
I know English quite well, but i watch these videos because of that lovely lady❤
She is an incredible teacher who always make sure to cover all essential topics. Thank you Lady Gill.
I can't get enough of your videos. I could watch it for hours and I like when you do longer videos because your explanation is so detailed. You are so sweet and an excellent teacher. Thanks for the video, I hope it won't take long to see you again ;)

Thanks for your patience and willingness in teaching us these irregular verb tenses. It was hard to get an understanding of the concept when i was in school because there was too much to grasp as well as dealing with other demanded classes. I know it will take a lot of practice and effort. It is extremely to know it to be able to succeed in the corporate world and in your personal life
I wish I had a teacher like you when I started to learn these verbs. Thank you for this video! Keep going!
she deserves my respects, real smart lessons, she is #1...
All Engvid teachers are great but I think Gill is one of the best ❤️ Thank you!

Hi Gill! As usual your obvious lesson is so effective and informative! I have just found the letter i with ai sound often comes to o or ou in the past tense. Congrégations! Keep it up!
You are a Wonderful Teacher, Gill! I have always doubt about present perfect. I have never understood it so well. I know how to use it now. Thank you very much!

Thanks Jill.
Love your class! Thanks 💕
Thank you Teacher.
I LEARNT these tenses at school, but with you, it's clear, I am happy to discover your lessons. If I have understood (right tense?) we use the past simple when we want to speak about a past finished (with a date or a precise moment), but It seems to me - with the present perfect - we establish a relationship between an action which has begun in the past but without knowing if it's finished in our present ? Is it true or false ? the problem is not the verbal forms (even if I make mistakes) but WHEN to use the right tense according to what I want to explain. If Jill, or someone else who is better than I am, can say to me, it would be good for me to review the good USE !
Thank you very much, your lessons are always inspiring.
Thank you so much my dear teacher. You are a great teacher for me. I Always watching your videos.
