Regular Verbs Uniformity in Changing Tense of a Verb

In English grammar, a regular verb is a  verb that forms its verb tenses, especially the  past tense  and  past participle, by adding one in the set of generally accepted standardized suffixes. Regular verbs are conjugated by adding either -d, -ed, -ing, or -s to its base form, unlike irregular verbs which have special rules for conjugation. The majority of English verbs are regular. These are the principal parts of regular verbs: The  base form: the  dictionary  term for a word like walk.The -s form: used in the singular third person, present tense  like walks.The -ed form: used in the past tense and past participle  like walked.The -ing form: used in the present participle  like walking. Regular verbs are predictable and always function the same regardless of the speaker, though oftentimes English as an Alternative Language speakers will mix up these verbs with irregular ones and attempt to conjugate them incorrectly. Colloquially, too, some native English speakers will conjugate irregular verbs like run incorrectly as regular verbs, inventing words like runned instead of the correct ran. Observations and Commonality Regular verbs are the more common of the two forms of verbs in the English language with the list of accepted regular verbs essentially open-ended, including tens of thousands of words in the dictionary that qualify. Steven Pinker describes regular verbs in Words and Rules as ever-evolving, with new ones being added to language constantly. He uses the additions of words like spam (flood with E-mail), snarf (download a file), mung (damage something), mosh (dance in roughhouse fashion), and Bork (challenge a political nominee for partisan reasons) to illustrate that even when new words are added we already assume their past-tense forms saying of these examples past-tenses that we all deduce that they are  spammed, snarfed, munged,  moshed,  and  Borked. All verbs come with what David J. Young calls an inflectional paradigm consisting of either four or five forms in his book Introducing English Grammar. For example, the base word fix has the forms fix, fixes, fixed, fixed and fixing to express different participles and tenses while grow has grow, grows, grew, grown, and growing. In the former, this set applies to most verbs and can, therefore, be called regular verbs, with no difference between the third and fourth items. Modern English Morphology Perhaps because of the ease of this interpretation of language and the nature of language to evolve, many of the hundreds of strong irregular verbs in Old English havent survived to the modern vernacular, which are instead now routinely co-opted to be inflected as regular verbs. Edward Finegan describes in Language: Its Structure and Use, that of the 333 strong verbs of Old English, only 68 continue as irregular verbs in Modern English. This, he says, is due to a colloquial or jargon usage being perpetuating as the most common form. Such words as burned, brewed, climbed and flowed are now commonly accepted forms of regular verbs which once functioned as irregular. On the other hand, Finegan also says that more than a dozen weak verbs have become irregular verbs in the history of English, including dive, which has developed a past-tense form dove alongside the historical form dived. Other such examples include drug for dragged, wore for weared, spat for spitted, and dug for digged.
