This is the fifth (and final) spelling week about verbs. This time, all the verbs have irregular past tense changes. For example,

I am going to sleep.
He sleeps.
I slept.
I am sleeping / I was sleeping.

The past tense version (slept) is irregular as it doesn’t follow the normal pattern of adding ed (we don’t say ‘sleeped’).

Infinitive	Present tense	Past tense	Continuous
to throw	throws	threw	throwing
to drink	drinks	drank	drinking
to weep	weeps	wept	weeping
to find	finds	found	finding
to write	writes	wrote	writing
to buy	buys	bought	buying
