Grammar Ease #1: Irregular English Verbs

Learning English would be far easier without irregular verbs. Using "ed" to make past and past participle tenses is really straightforward:

work worked worked
start started started

We can easily generalize this simple rule to all verbs:

Instead of:
go went gone
We can use:
go goed goed

Instead of:
begin began begun
We can use:
begin begined begined

Instead of:
bind bound bound
We can use:
bind binded binded

Instead of:
do did done
We can use:
do doed doed

Instead of:
is/am/are was/were been
We can use:
be beed beed
