When we say a verb is regular, actually what does it mean?
Thank you very much indeed.
I appreciate your help.

The past and participle take regular forms.

-ed past, -ed particle.

Fixed typo

-ed past, -en particle.


Is "-ed" or "-en" for particle conjugation?

Because some says "-ed", but others "-en".

It confuses me.

Eh, I'm fluent in Typo. It's my second language. Sorry about that.

I usually open the store every morning at 9 am, I opened the store late yesterday, I have opened the store late very few times.
He receives packages for us, he received the package you were asking about yesterday, has he received that package yet?

Regular verbs.

I'll go back and edit my typo.

Thank you to both of you.
This forum has cleared up a lot of my misunderstandings in English. It goes a long way toward my learning English.
