Irregular verbs are like sneaky words that don't follow the usual past tense rules! Instead of just adding "-ed" like most verbs, they change their form in a special way. Think of them as a little mystery to solve when you're talking about something that happened in the past. Take a look at this teacher's hip-hop song that he uses to teach the irregulars to his students!
You can sing along, if you wish!
