1/160

The following is not a list of ALL the irregularverb in English. Rather it is a list of SOME of

the MOST IMPORTANT irregular verbs inEnglish. A word of warning about the

translation. As you well know, especially inEnglish, there are few, if any, real translations.

Even when translating the literal versus thefigurative meaning of the words, you must becareful. A good example would be the verb to

ring. In English, we use the to ring for largeand small bells, for the doorbell, for the ear andfor the telephone. Spanish does not. Repicar

is the

verb used for large bells, sonar for the smallone, llamar is for the door, zumbar is when

your ears ring while sonar is when thetelephone does.

Of course, when the meaning of the verb isfigurative, the translation can be very tricky.For example, the verb to ride is English is notonly literally but also figuratively. When youride a person it does not mean the same thing

as to ride horse. To ride a person is to

dominate, oppress or tyrannize. To ride a horseis translated as montar a caballo but to ride aperson is tiranizar, dominar or ser demasiado

severo.
