HOW TO AVOID THE DREADED irRegulaR VERBS...AND SPEAK LIKE ANY NATIVE!
Fly ? flew ? flown
Fly today
Flew yesterday
...have flown often
In daily spoken English, most native people use a simple formula to skip the irregular verbs. Like the one above. ( They have trouble remembering them, too!....hehe...)
They use the first form of any verb like this:
" I've been flying often!"
Have been & Verb & ing
I've been walking by the river.
They've been drawing a tree.
In most cases it works very well to express what you want to say.
There are times when it's better to use the ?actual second form of the verb, like here:
He drew a line!
A symbolic meaning ( idiom ). As in " He stopped the (excessive spending)!"
So, you can use the verb in its easy, first form most of the time in spoken, daily talk...just remember:
have/has been ? ?&
verb ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? &
ing
Work hard, but...
Have fun !
