Wrong English verbs
An incorrect verb is a verb whose conjugation paradigm deviates from the typical paradigms of a given language. As a rule, irregular verbs are the most common verbs that partially preserve the remains of ancient forms lost by other verbs. Especially often they are auxiliary verbs, for example, ligaments. Sometimes in the conjugation of irregular verbs suppletivism is observed. Wrong verbs are most typical for inflectional languages, for example, Indo-European. In agglutinative languages, irregular verbs, as a rule, are very few, and sometimes they are completely absent.
Wrong verbs are a stepping stone to the top of English. And often this stage has to be stormed again and again! Sometimes, you remember all the forms of the verb, and the translation does not go to your mind. Or you know the initial form and the translation, but the second and third forms completely flew from the head.
