ACTIVITY3 :   Definition of an Irregular Verb

An irregular verb is defined as “a verb that does not follow the usual rules of grammar. For example, ‘eat’ is an irregular verb because its past tense is ‘ate’ and its past participle is ‘eaten’, not ‘eated’,” according to the Macmillan Dictionary. According to the Oxford Learners’ Dictionary, an irregular verb is a verb that is “not formed in the normal way.” The normal way of forming past and past participle forms of a verb in English is by adding ‘ed’ to it. Irregular verbs do not follow this rule.

Conjugating Irregular Verbs – Rules and Examples

Learning to conjugate irregular verbs can be a little tricky. It is often considered a difficult task, but that is not the case. Before we start, try to unlearn the concepts or notions about irregular verbs you have in your mind. Let us start from the beginning with a fresh and clear mind.

The conjugation of irregular verbs can be learnt under three main groups based on how they behave when changed to represent the simple past and past participle forms.

It can be grouped as follows:

• Group 1 – Irregular verbs which take the same spelling as the base verb in the simple past form and the past participle form. These verbs remain the same throughout all tense forms.
• Group 2 – Irregular verbs which have the same spelling in the simple past form and the past participle form. There are some irregular verbs in this group that take an alternate spelling too.
• Group 3 – Irregular verbs which have three different spelling patterns in the base form, the simple past form and the past participle form.

Let us now look at the list of irregular verbs which fall under the three groups to have a better understanding.

పులి ముందుచూపు..

మహేంద్రగిరి అడవికి రాజుగా సింహగిరి అనే సింహం ఉండేది. దానికి ఆరోగ్యం బాలేకపోవడంతో మంత్రి కుందేలును పిలిచి.. ‘నా ఆరోగ్యం రోజురోజుకీ క్షీణిస్తోంది. పాలనా బాధ్యతలు సరిగా నిర్వర్తించలేకపోతున్నాను. అందుకే.. కొత్త రాజును నియమించాలి అనుకుంటున్నాను’ అని చెప్పింది. ఎవరు ఆ పదవికి అర్హులో కూడా దానికి చెప్పింది. అప్పుడు కుందేలు.. ‘మృగరాజా! మీకు నచ్చిన వారిని అడవికి రాజుగా నియమిస్తే, జంతువులకు అసంతృప్తిగా అనిపించవచ్చు. వాటి సమక్షంలోనే ఆ ఎంపిక జరిగితే బాగుంటుంది’ అని సలహా ఇచ్చింది. ఆ మాటలు విన్న సింహం.. అడవిలోని జీవులన్నింటితో సమావేశం ఏర్పాటు చేయమని కుందేలును ఆదేశించింది.

చెప్పినట్లుగానే మరుసటి రోజు ఉదయాన్నే సమావేశానికి అన్ని జంతువులు హాజరయ్యాయి. అప్పుడు మృగరాజు మాట్లాడుతూ.. ‘నా ఆరోగ్యం ఈ మధ్య కాలంలో సరిగా ఉండటం లేదు. అడవి పాలనా బాధ్యతలు సక్రమంగా నిర్వహించలేకపోతున్నాను. కాబట్టి కొన్ని రోజులు విశ్రాంతి తీసుకోవాలి అనుకుంటున్నాను. అందుకే ఒక నెల రోజులపాటు తాత్కాలికంగా బాధ్యతలు నిర్వహించడానికి, మీకు నచ్చిన జంతువును ఎంపిక చేసుకోండి’ అని అంది. అప్పుడు ఒక ఎలుగుబంటి.. ‘మృగరాజా! మా బాగోగులు చక్కగా చూసే జంతువును మీరే తాత్కాలిక రాజుగా నియమించండి’ అంది. సమావేశానికి వచ్చిన మిగతా జంతువులు కూడా దానితో ఏకీభవించాయి. అప్పుడు మృగరాజు.. ‘మన అడవికి తాత్కాలిక రాజుగా.. పెద్దపులి ఉంటుంది’ అని ప్రకటించింది.

ఇక ఆ రోజు నుంచి అడవికి రాజుగా బాధ్యతలు చేపట్టింది పెద్దపులి. మంత్రి కుందేలు ద్వారా సింహగిరి.. అది పాలనలో చేపడుతున్న కొత్త కార్యక్రమాలను తెలుసుకోసాగింది. పులి అడవి జీవులకు సమావేశం ఏర్పాటు చేసి.. ఎండిపోయిన నీటి చెరువుల్లో చెత్తాచెదారం తొలగించాలని ఆజ్ఞలు జారీ చేసింది. కానీ ఆ పనులు చేయడం జంతువులకు కొంచెం కష్టం అనిపించింది. అంతే కాకుండా పక్షులతో అడవి శివార్లలో నలువైపులా విత్తనాలు చల్లించింది. అవి మొలకెత్తిన తర్వాత సంరక్షించే బాధ్యత ఆ పరిసరాల్లో ఉన్న జంతువులు తీసుకోవాలని చెప్పింది. జంతువులన్నీ.. ఈ తాత్కాలిక మృగరాజు.. చాలా కష్టమైన పనులు చెబుతుందని భావించసాగాయి. ఒకరోజు, ఒక కోతి ఆహార సేకరణకు వెళ్లకుండా.. చిన్న, ముసలి జీవులకు తెచ్చే ఆహారాన్ని దొంగిలించి తినేస్తుందనే ఫిర్యాదు పెద్దపులికి అందింది. దాంతో ఆ కోతికి.. ఎవరి వద్దనైతే ఆహారం దొంగతనం చేసిందో.. వాటికి పది రోజులపాటు ఆహారం తెచ్చి ఇవ్వాలని శిక్ష విధించింది. అలా మరో రెండు రోజులు గడిచిన తర్వాత.. పులి పదవి గడువు ముగిసింది.

మృగరాజు సింహగిరి మళ్లీ సమావేశం ఏర్పాటు చేసి.. ‘నా ఆరోగ్యం ఇంకా కుదుటపడలేదు. మరో నెల రోజులు విశ్రాంతి తీసుకోవాలని అనుకుంటున్నాను. అప్పటి వరకు పులినే రాజుగా కొనసాగిద్దామా?’ అని అడవి జీవులకు ప్రశ్నించింది. దానికి కొన్ని జంతువులు ‘వద్దు.. వద్దు’ అంటూ సమాధానమిచ్చాయి. ‘కారణమేంటో వివరించండి!’ అడిగింది మృగరాజు. ఒక తోడేలు ముందుకు వచ్చి.. ‘ఈ పులి నెల రోజులుగా అడవిలోని జీవులకు విశ్రాంతి లేకుండా చేసింది. చాలా పనులు చేయించింది. అది మాకు చాలా కష్టంగా ఉంది. అందుకే చాలా జంతువులకు ఇష్టం లేదు’ అని చెప్పింది. అప్పుడే, ఆహారం దొంగిలించి శిక్ష అనుభవించిన కోతి తల్లి వచ్చి.. ‘మృగరాజా! నా పిల్ల కోతి ఇన్ని రోజులు సోమరితనంతో ఉండేది. కానీ పులి విధించిన శిక్ష వల్ల చలాకీగా మారింది. దాని ఆహారాన్ని అదే సంపాదించుకుంటోంది. మీ ఆరోగ్యం కుదుటపడే వరకు పులి రాజుగా ఉంటేనే బాగుంటుంది’ అని చెప్పింది.

తర్వాత ఒక ముసలి ఎలుగుబంటి లేచి.. ‘ఈతరం జీవులకు మన అడవి విస్తీర్ణం అసలు తెలియదు. దట్టమైన పొదలతో చెట్లతో చాలా పెద్దగా ఉండేది. కానీ సమీప గ్రామాల ప్రజలు చెట్లను నరుకుతూ అడవి విస్తీర్ణం తగ్గించేశారు. అది మళ్లీ పెంచాలనే ఉద్దేశంతో.. అడవి శివార్లలో మొక్కలు పెంచే కార్యక్రమం చేపట్టింది. ఎండిన చెరువుల్లో చెత్తను తీయించి.. వర్షాలు పడినప్పుడు ఎలాంటి ఇబ్బంది లేకుండా చేసిన పులి ఆలోచన బాగుంది’ అని చెప్పింది. దానితో పాటు మరికొన్ని జంతువులు కూడా వంతపాడాయి. పులిని మృగరాజుగా వద్దన్న జీవులు దాని దగ్గరకు వచ్చి.. ‘మమ్మల్ని క్షమించు. నీ ముందుచూపుని అర్థం చేసుకోలేకపోయాము’ అని చెప్పాయి. అప్పుడు సింహగిరి.. ‘పులి చేపట్టిన చర్యలు నేను ఎప్పటికప్పుడు తెలుసుకున్నాను. మీ అందరి అభీష్టంతో రాజుగా ఈ పెద్దపులిని ప్రకటిస్తున్నాను. నేను ఇక శాశ్వతంగా బాధ్యతలు నుంచి తప్పుకొని విశ్రాంతి తీసుకుంటాను’ అని చెప్పింది. మృగరాజు నిర్ణయాన్ని జంతువులన్నీ అంగీకరించాయి.

WE LOVE READING SUMMER ACTIVITIES 2024- TODAY ENGLISH  MORAL STORY :  The Girl Who Married A Snake

Long ago, a Brahmin lived with his wife, in a village. Both of them led a very simple and happy life. Their only concern was that they did not have a child. Both of them prayed to God for a child for many years in the hope that God would bless them with a child. In the 13th year of their marriage, God blessed them with a baby but the child came to be a snake. They were really disappointed. Everyone in the village advised the Brahmin and his wife to get rid of the baby as they thought the child was a demon. How else could anyone explain a snake born to a human! The Brahmin too, agreed with the villagers.

But the Brahmin’s wife paid no heed to what the villagers thought or said about their child. She made it clear to the Brahmin that she would bring up the snake as her son and would always be a mother to the snake. The Brahmin tried to convince her to give up the snake but in vain. Ultimately, he too, relented and agreed that the snake may be brought up as their son. The Brahmin’s wife was delighted to hear this.

She started making arrangements so that the snake could stay comfortably in their house. She prepared a nice bed for the snake using a wooden box. She placed a small mattress and a blanket inside the box. She bought new utensils for the snake to eat and drink from. She made sure to plug all the holes on the floor and walls of the house so that the snake may not, mistakenly, slip out of the house and get into some danger. She was always scared that, if spotted alone, the villagers might kill her boy out of fear for their own lives. Slowly, years passed on and soon the snake became big and healthy.

One day, while attending a marriage in the village, the brahmin’s wife thought that she would also get her son married. The Brahmin was shocked when his wife requested him to find a suitable match for their boy. He tried to argue with his wife that it is impossible to find a girl who would marry a snake but to no avail. Next day, reluctantly, he left his house in search of a bride for his son.

He went to places far and wide but whenever he mentioned that he was looking for a bride for his son who was a snake, people would laugh at him and drove him away. Several weeks passed by. The Brahmin came to a town where his childhood friend used to stay. He visited his friend and mentioned the reason for his travel. His friend was not aware that the brahmin’s son was a snake and immediately offered his daughter’s hand in marriage. The Brahmin tried to convince his friend to visit his house once and meet his son. But his friend said that he was sure that the Brahmin’s son would be like his father and sent his daughter with the Brahmin to get married. When the girl found out that she has been married to a snake, she was disappointed. But not one to dishonour her father’s commitment, she decided to stay with the snake and be a devout wife.

That night, when the girl was alone with the snake in the room, the snake shed his skin and turned into a handsome young man. He told his wife that he was under a curse that he could not come out of the snake’s skin till he married a girl. He also told that only after the sunset he could come out of the snake’s skin. He would have to get back into the skin at daybreak. The girl was happy that she could now have her husband by her side at least during night. So every night, the snake would shed its skin and turn into a man.

One day, the Brahmin heard some voices from his son’s room. He peeped in and saw his daughter-in-law sitting with a young man with the snake’s skin lying beside them. He immediately rushed into the room, picked up the snake’s skin and threw it in fire. The young man was delighted to see this. He told the Brahmin that the curse also said that if someone destroyed the snake’s skin, without him telling the person to do so, the curse would end. From that day, the boy never turned into a snake. The Brahmin and his wife were happy to have a son in human form. And so was his wife.
