All of English verbs have three conjugation in general except for the modal verbs .
جميع أفعال اللغة الإنجليزية لها – فى العموم – ثلاثة تصريفات ، عدا الأفعال الناقصة .
There are two kinds of English verbs to be conjugated :
1- Regular verbs .
2-Irregualr verbs .
هناك نوعان من الأفعال الإنجليزية حين نحاول تصريفها :
أ – الأفعال المنتظمة .
ب- الأفعال الشاذة .
First : Regular Verbs .
أولا : الأفعال المنتظمة
We can form the second and the third conjugation of verb by adding the suffix –ed to the end of the base form of the verb
يمكننا أن نأتى بالتصريف الثانى و الثالث للفعل من خلال اضافة المقطع ed لنهاية الفعل فى المصدر مثال :
Wash washed washed
Talk talked talked
Remarks :
ملاحظات :
If the verb ends in a consonant and preceded by a vowel and the last syllable of the word is stressed the final consonant is doubled then add – ed
اذا كان الحرف الأخير من الفعل ساكنا يسبقه حرف متحرك و كان المقطع الأخير عليه ضغط فى النطق نضاعف الحرف الأخير ثم نضيف ed
Stop stopped stopped
But if the last syllable is not stressed we add ed directly
اما إذا كان المقطع الأخير غير مشدد نضيف ed مباشرة
Travel traveled traveled
If the last letter of the verb is ( y ) and is preceded by a vowel we add ed . But if it is preceded by a consonant the letter y is omitted and we add ied
إذا كان الحرف الأخير y و كان الحرف السابق لها متحركا نضيف ed أما إذا كان ساكنا تقلب y إلى I و نضيف ed
Play played played
Carry carried carried
If the verb ends in –e we add –d not –ed
إذا كان الفعل ينتهى ب e نضيف d للفعل مباشرة
Like liked liked
Love loved loved
Second : Irregular Verbs
ثانيا : الأفعال الشاذة
