  Verb Forms
Verbs tell time: We usually determine from the verb whether an event happened in the past, is happening now, or is at some other time.
A regular verb is one which goes from present, to past, to past participle while retaining the root word.
Because irregular verbs seems to be a greater problem to conjugate thean regular verbs, here is a list of some irregular verbs which might give you trouble.

 IHGG: Verb Definitions
Whereas inflection tables for all forms of the regular verbs (reguläre Verben) are shown in Konjugationsregeln, it is the objectiv of this Section to discuss the rules and patterns of those basic inflection forms from which all others are formed by simple rules.
Whereas the verb endings are inflected almost identically as those in the regular verbs, it is the word stem, as well, that gets to be modified in the irregular verbs.
Verbs whose word stem differs in Konjunktiv II (see Class 4) are underlined, and should be used in würde form instead of the Konjunktiv II Präterit.

Among the five subjects and six nonce words tested, there was a wide spread in the number of regular and irregular forms that they produced: from almost all irregular forms (subject A) to all regular forms (subject C).
Regular forms are produced when the nonce word is long and non-similar in pronunciation or meaning to existing English verbs.
Finally, whether a person produces largely regular or largely irregular forms may depend upon whether the person has innate detail-oriented abilities (the ability to memorize and associate a large amount of arbitrary information) or whether the person is a ‘high-level’ person: better at repeatedly applying a small set of rules than bothering to remember exceptions.

 Regular verb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A regular verb is a verb whose conjugation can be predicted given a few verb forms (principal parts) and a few rules.
The most simple form of regularity involves a single class of verbs, a single principal part (the root or a conjugated form in a given person, number, tense, aspect, mood, etc.), and a set of unique rules to produce each form in the verb paradigm.
The most irregular verbs are suppletive, that is, their paradigm is made up of what were originally parts of different verbs.

 Lesson 2
Verbs that follow a standard set of rules when being conjugated are termed 'regular." If I tell you the rule for regular verb conjugation and that a certain verb is regular, it will follow that rule, no matter what.
Verb stems that end in -d and -t will change the endings of three of the forms: the du, er, and ihr forms are affected.
The irregular verbs are the verbs that don't follow the rules.

Verb classes are nested, so that one can easily see that a verb like colgar (sub-class 4B-2) is identical in form to the basic model mostrar (class 4B), apart from regular orthographic modifications which are highlighted in the conjugations, and described in detail in Part I of the text.
The structure of Spanish verbs is not difficult to comprehend for a native English speaker, as most of the forms parallel or are very close in meaning to those employed in English.
The mood of the verb does not refer (at least directly) to that of the speaker but rather to the type of statement he or she is making.

 Paradigm of the Portuguese verb conjugation
But irregular verbs can have their radical severely altered in some inflections; the two anomalous verbs: ser (to be) and ir (to go), have their radicals supressed entirely in some tenses.
verbs ending in air (cair, sair, trair, esvair,..): the thematic vowel "i" appears inadvertently in (eu) caio and in the present of subjunctive (caia, caias, caiamos, caiais, caiam).
It is a regular verb of the second conjugation, except that, again, it does not have the present of subjunctive, and from the indicative, only the non- rizotonic forms: (nós) precavemos, (vós) precaveis.

If you have a list of principal parts for an irregular verb, how do you use that to work out what the stem is? This simple question does not seem to be addressed directly in the grammars.
The first perfect in a regular verb may be generated as shown.
The second aorist passive is in theory found by prefixing an epsilon to the 'verb-stem' (a basically useless concept, as far as I can see, except for regular verbs which, of course, do not have second aorist passives) but since the vowel in the stem also changes in various ways, it's basically irregular.

 English Grammar
When a regular verb ends in y immediately preceded by a consonant, the y is changed to i before the ending ed is added.
However, when a regular verb ends in y immediately preceded by a vowel, the y is not changed before the ending ed is added.
When a verb of more than one syllable ends in a single consonant other than w, x or y immediately preceded by a single vowel, the final consonant is doubled before the ending ed only when the last syllable of the verb is pronounced with the heaviest stress.

The only real difference between regular and irregular verbs is that they have different endings for their past tense and past participle forms.
For regular verbs, the past tense ending and past participle ending is always the same: -ed.
For irregular verbs, the past tense ending and the past participle ending is variable, so it is necessary to learn them by heart.
