英語不規則動詞

英語中有大約 200 個不規則動詞，如果把前綴派生詞也計算在內的話，則會更多。在大多數情況下，不規則動詞的不規則性體現在過去式和過去分詞上。

本條目包含了英語中常用的不規則動詞。完整的不規則動詞表可參見英語不規則動詞列表。

通常來說，不規則動詞的第三人稱單數和現在分詞的屈折變化（分別是加 -[e]s 或 -ing 後綴）是規則的，但也有一些例外：如動詞 be, have, do, go, say 等。有些情態動詞則沒有部分屈折形態。

英語中的不規則動詞包含了日常生活中最常用的動詞。英語中的新詞（如外來詞）往往遵循一般的屈折變化，除非它們的詞根是一個不規則動詞（如 housesit 遵循和 sit 一樣的不規則屈折變化）。

現代英語中的大部分的不規則動詞由日耳曼語強變化動詞派生而來，這些動詞往往通過元音變換來體現屈折形式，比如現代英語中 sing-sang-sung。相對的，規則動詞在詞尾加 -ed 的屈折變化，則是來源於日耳曼語弱變化動詞在詞尾加齒音（-t 或 -d）的習慣。^[1]
