VERBS

[Heath]

'To be' is pretty irregular, it reminds of its equivalent in German, which is 'sein'.

Ich (I) bin
Du (you) bist
Er/sie/es (he/she/it) ist
Wir (we) sind
Ihr (they) seid
Sie/sie (you [formal]/you [plural]) sind

Compare it to 'gehen' - 'to go':

Ich gehe
Du gehst
Er/sie/es geht
Wir gehen
Ihr geht
Sie/sie gehen

Regular verbs are good, they make language nice and formulaic and easy to learn... the irregular kind are just there to make things difficult :aimmad:

I was going to give the example of German too. Though in all honesty, I think sein is probably the easiest irregular verb to deal with because you use it so much. After a while (before even covering the grammar around it) it's just natural to say "ich bin," "du bist," and so on.

Regardless of that, regular verbs are a lot nicer to deal with in any language. Naturally I don't have much trouble with them in English because I'm fluent and it's just something you know as a native speaker, but when learning other languages it makes life simpler.
