En inglés tenemos para el pasado verbos regulares y verbos irregulares.

• Los verbos regulares son los que conservan la misma raíz en todas sus formas y el pasado termina en “d”o “ed”. Ej: to teach (teached), to think (thinked), to look (looked)
  
• Los verbos irregulares son aquellos en los que cambia la raíz y son distintos en pasado y participio.Ej: to think | thought | thought; to eat | ate | eaten
