Tip: Ang nakakalito lamang sa lesson na ito ay ang past participle form of irregular verbs, kung ano ang kina-ibahan sa past tense at kung kailan ginagamit. Ang pinakamadaling palatandaan na kailangan gamitin ang past participle ay ang mga auxiliaries has o have(to form the present perfect tense), at had(to form past perfect tense). O kaya'y may kasamang shall o will(to form future perfect tense), at should, could, o would(to form modal verb). Kapag nakita sa pangungusap ang mga nabanggit na auxiliaries (has, have, had, shall have, will have, should have, could have, would have) past participle form of irregular ang dapat gamitin.
Notes and Example: Dahil nga ang mga verb na ito ay tinatawag na "irregular" wala silang sinusunod na pattern. Kaya pansamantala ay huwag munang pagtuunan ng pansin kung sila ba ay ginamit bilang present perfect tense, past perfect tense, future perfect tense, o modal verb. Ang layunin lang ng lesson na ito ay i-familiarize kayo kung paano ginamit ang irregular verbs in past participle form sa sentence.
