34 thoughts on “ Irregular Past Tense Verbs – word lists, worksheets, activities, goals, and more”. Dawn Wolf I absolutely LOVE your website! It has saved me countless hours. The language units and the activities are great, as well as the numerous ways you have referenced and linked to the pages. Thank you ever so much.

Post author Dawn, all I’m seeing is a question asking for irregular plurals in developmental order. I have a short list of those on the noun page (children, teeth, men, geese, women, feet, mice, sheep, people, deer, wolves, leaves, knives, phenomena, crises, etc.).

I am wondering where the verb lists (structured in such a way as developmental order) came from — your experience? Journal articles? I’m asking, not to critique the lists, but because, I find that there is a “soft structure” in most grammatical forms where children learn some words before others, but it’s difficult to find research on them. Post author I would say they’re loosely based on a combination of my experience with levels from tests such as the OWLS, CASL, PLS, and CELF tests, and consulting Brown’s levels as well as Robert Owen’s language textbook. The lists are meant to be flexible and one would expect these, or similar lists, to differ from culture to culture, or from region to region especially with some more “semantic” words like nouns and verbs, and maybe there’s more consistency with more “syntactic” words, like helping verbs and pronouns. Thanks for the comment!
