जैसा कि हम जानते हैं, अंग्रेजी भाषा के कई शब्द नियमित नहीं हैं, खासकर क्रियाओं के मामले में। अनियमित क्रियाएँ (Irregular Verbs) उन्हें कहते हैं जिनके भूतकाल (Past Tense) और भूतकाल के पूर्ण भूतकाल (Past Participle) के रूपों में नियमित पैटर्न का अनुसरण नहीं किया जाता है। इसका मतलब है कि इन क्रियाओं को याद रखना और सही ढंग से प्रयोग करना ज़रूरी है।
लेकिन चिंता न करें, यह व्यायाम आपको अनियमित क्रियाओं की अच्छी समझ विकसित करने में मदद करेगा। इसमें दिए गए वाक्यों में रिक्त स्थानों को भरकर आप अपने ज्ञान को परख सकते हैं और अपनी अंग्रेजी को और भी मजबूत कर सकते हैं। हर वाक्य में आपको उस अनियमित क्रिया का सही रूप भरना होगा जो वाक्य के अर्थ के अनुरूप हो।
