Irregular Verbs Mind Map Basics

An irregular verbs mind map sorts verbs that do not follow the regular -ed past tense rule. Irregular verbs change form in different ways, so a map that groups them by pattern helps you learn the past simple and past participle together. Most learners start with the most frequent verbs in everyday speech.

  • Vowel change: verbs like sing, sang, sung change the middle vowel.
  • Same in all forms: verbs like cut, cut, cut keep one form.
  • Past participle endings: groups such as -en (broken, eaten) share an ending.
  • Mixed patterns: verbs like go, went, gone or be, was, been need separate branches.

Use the map to revise by covering one column and recalling it from the others. Build your own version from your class list with CogniGuide to focus on the verbs you find hardest.
