VERBOS IRREGULARES
Los verbos regulares son los ms comunes en ingls y tienen una
caracterstica fundamental que los distinguen del resto. Estos verbos
forman el pasado y el participio aadiendo -ED. P.e. work-worked, prayprayed. La dificultad de estos verbos estriba en la pronunciacin de esos
pasados y participio en -ED.
Quiz sea conveniente advertir de principio que ninguno de esos pasados
y participio se pronuncian /ed/, tienen tres posibles pronunciaciones
dependiendo de la consonante que anteceda a la terminacin -ED. As:
1.- Si el verbo regular en infinitivo termina en consonante sorda
(voiceless) como /c/-/h/-/k/-/p/-/r/-/w/-/v/, entonces el pasado y del
participio de dicho verbo se pronunciar ( T). Por ejemplo: voiced
/voist/ - worked /workt/ - stopped /stopt/
- remembered
/ribmbert/- chewed /chiut/- moved /mut/
2.- Si el verbo regular en infinitivo termina en consonante sonora
(voiced) como por ejemplo: /n/ - /m/ - /l/, su pasado y del participio se
pronunciar con el sonido (D) como en: cleaned /klind/ - killed /kild/
3.- Por ltimo si el verbo regular en infinitivo acaba en "t" o "d", la
pronunciacin del pasado y del participio ser (id). P.e. painted /peintid/ o
decided /disaidid/
Nota: Los verbos regulares que acaban en (-e), lgicamente no se le
aaden -ED en pasado o en participio sino que slo a aaden (-D), como
en love-loved, smoke-smoked
Recuerde que los verbos en el participio pasado llevan delante la palabra
have (ha) has (ha) had (haba) was (era) were (estaba). Ejem: have
arisen was become.
