catched
a cold” or, “I have caught
a cold”? From present simple to present perfect, how do you know which past participle to use? Wait a minute. Use a PAST participle with the present perfect? Yes! In fact, there are two types of irregular past participles, and in this lesson, I will teach you when to use them. Be sure to complete the quiz at the end to confirm your understanding.

10/10!
Thanks Teacher Gill.
You teach me great lesson every time on Engvid.
You taught me history of British monarchy last week.
You have taught me really useful grammar lesson again.
Thanks so much Gill!!
It was a very useful lesson to refresh the importance of the irregular verbs in English.
By the way, I only knew one pronunciation of “ate”, which is the one pronounced as the number eight, but I didn´t know about the other one.
Thanks again and cheers from Spain ;)

Thnk u so much teacher Gill
You thought me very usefull lesson
Thanks Gill, this lesson was great, I got 10/10..it’s very easy..
Thank u
In the question 10 the answer is “seeing” but in lesson was teach see/saw and seen! Please what’s correct?
Hi Ricardo! The correct answer to the test’s question #10 is “seen” not “seeing”. She taught correctly in the video.
I got 10 out of 10. It seems to me very interested , because tenses make me very confuse.
very interesting, very confused
I just overlooked brought and bought. Thank you. That was awesome!
I got 10/10.Great lesson and excellent exercise.
Thanks,Mrs.Gill.
Thank you very much, Gill. You are a great teacher.
Thanks teacher Gill!we,in my house in Brazil, love your classes!
Some of these sentences sound me a little bit strange.
As I know, when we use time marker (today, yesterday, last, on in) we use simple past tense and not the present perfect time. This tense is used when the time is not exactly specified (just, ever, already, never, yet). Am I right?
Hi emo53 — thanks for your question. I’m not sure which one of those two tenses you mean in your final sentence, but with just, ever, etc we often use present perfect, eg ‘I have just cleaned the kitchen’, ‘Have you ever met a famous person?’, ‘I have already had lunch’, ‘He has never driven a car’ etc. I hope this helps to clarify :-)
10/10. Thanks a lot Gill, I love your lessons!
Hi teacher Gill, I like so much your lessons, you’re my favourite teacher. I have a question: I would like to know if the present perfect is a common tense in spoken language. Thank you and bye for now :-)
hi Violetta — thank you for your kind words :-) Yes, present perfect is used all the time in spoken English, so it’s a good one to practise! All the best with your studies.
Thanks a lot, teacher Gill.
Thanks for all explanations!!
Thank you, Gill! Great lesson!
It has been a good revision of the Irregular Verbs in general because there are some of them not so easier to remember and difficult to enunciate like brought, taught, bought and so on. The participles are sometimes the problem because how I know when to use learned or learnt and forgot or forgotten but we can learn a little more of Irregular Verbs in English with revision although there are more Irregular Verbs to learn. Thanks a lot, teacher Gill, a very entertained and amusing lesson about this topic of Irregular Verbs.
Thanks Gill! I like your lessons very much!
Hi Gill! I’d like to point out the difficulty I have with the correct pronunciation of “thought”, past of “think”, and “taught”, past of “teach”. They seem the same to me. :(
My doubt is the same !
Hello Marcelo,
It seems to be the same pronunciation, but they have a huge difference. “Thought is pronounced like the word “só”, but with the tong between your teeth, like “sóti”. The word “Taught” you say “tóti”. I wish I could help you.
Olá Adriano! Hi Adriano!
Yes, it sure helped me! Thanks! :)
Thank you very much for lesson.
10\10 thank you!
Thank teacher Gill. Your classes are clear
Bye for now :)
Hi Gill! Good to hear from you again.
I liked the way you organized your class presentation.
Excellent review of irregular verb forms.
Pronunciation is also a bit of a problem with these verb forms,but how you dealt with it -in the video-was just great, killing two birds with one single stone.
Phenomenal! Thanks for sharing your valuable teaching experience with us Gill. I really love your video-lessons lessons.
P.S. No computer, no e-mail, no social networkings; that’s still very common among many people. But that’s something we need to learn how to bear with it.
I have learned a lot from you! Thank you so much!
Very good.Thanks
〝You got 10 correct out of 10.〞

Thank you Gill!
Thank you Gill.
great job teacher
Thx for your lesson Gill, it is the great lesson!
In this sentence: “Yesterday, my girlfriend drank beer and she got drunk!” I know drunk is a Past Participle so, in this sentence, I guess it is Adjective right, Gill? First time I thought drunk is only Past Participle but after I check on Oxford Dic Online I know “drunk” is Adjective too! LOL!
9/10
Thanks for the video
Thank you teacher for the video
very easy
Thanks, teacher Gill
question:- only in the present perfect tense past participle is used?
7/10 – disappointment
Thank you Jale for this great lesson. I have learned a lot today. So useful and beneficial. I am just wondering in which way we might use had; like had told you, like had called you or I had brought. Shall I use the word had for all past tenses or not?
Looking forward to hear from you soon.
Thank you very much, your the best teacher!

I have enjoyed answering this quiz, thank you.
Interesting!
Thank you Teacher Gill. I got 100.
Why do the verbs that come from onomatopoeia have got a past tense? don’t they lose their essence?
Ring it’s the same sound in the present, the past and the future but in the past tense you say: it rang…why? it’s the same sound
Thanks a lot.Gill
It’s been a long time I didn’t practise the irregular verbs. Thanks very much !
