I really hope you have made the decision to learn English this time, dealt with your fears, made a plan and visualized yourself as you're speaking fluently. Please do the last again. Try to imagine yourself relaxed, in good mood, sitting down with your friends/colleagues and explaining them something very intresting or important. Keep this picture in your mind!
In the previous post I had a point: Learn the Essentials and today we will start building our English Language Base.
Building English Language Base
In order to develop four main skills such as Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing, and few supporting skills, we need to have a good base. The place where we begin to build our pyramid of English language. Let's see what is included in the English Language Base:
1. Vocabulary Base
2. Grammatical Base
3. Phrase Base
These three parts of EL Base are the answer on what you need to know to be able to communicate in English, and all of them must be learned.
Today we start with..
1. Vocabulary Base
- It's all about the verbs
The verbs are, in fact, the most important part of Vocabulary Base. A verb expresses action, occurrence or state of being; a word that says something about either a noun or pronoun.
Regular verbs form the past tense by adding –d or- ed.
Irregular verbs do not follow this typical pattern.
List of the most common words in English included even 92 verbs! (we plan to learn all through our Building Basics ) and almost half of those verbs are irregular (32).
Ok, let's figure...
200 about - the most common words in English (nouns, verbs, adjectives...)
92 - verbs (regular and irregular)
32 - irregular
Our today's goal is to learn all of these 32 irregular verbs!
This is complete list of irregular verbs we need to learn to communicate in English.
Present Past Present Past
bring brought keep kept
buy bought know knew
come came let let
cut cut make made
draw drew put put
drink drank read read
eat ate ride rode
fall fell run ran
find found say said
fly flew see saw
get got sing sang
give gave sit sat
go went sleep slept
grow grew take took
hold held tell told
hurt hurt think though
write wrote
This list don't have a third column - past partciple, because, for now, we don't need it. (The complete list of irregular verbs included about 80 verbs, in three columns)
For now, try to memorize these 32 verbs. If you don't know their meaning, you may translate it here: http://translate.google.com/ In the box you will see small button to listen a pronunciation, try to reproduce/repeat what you hear.
There are some intresting pictures that will help you to remember these irregular verbs:
