Why is ver irregular in imperfect?

What makes ver irregular is that all you remove is the – r from the infinitive ver, and put ve– in front of the regular endings . Since all the regular imperfect endings for – er and – ir verbs have written accent marks, the same is true for ver.

Irregular verbs follow the same imperfect formation rules as do regular verbs . Drop the ‐ons from the nous form and add the imperfect endings. Consider the following examples: Tous les ans ils allaient à la plage.

Ver uses the regular endings for a normal – er verb in the preterite and is only irregular because it does not have accent marks.

The conjugation of the Spanish verb ser is irregular. It is irregular because it does not follow a set pattern of conjugation to form all its tenses .
