Hello Batrud, The verb 'to deal' is an irregular verb, just as you thought. The three forms of the verb are: Base form = to deal Past simple form = dealt Past participle form = dealt It can be used as a verb (in the forms shown above) or as a noun. VERB definitions: with object = to give one a share = 'deal me in' (include me), without object = (followed by with or in) = 'The teacher dealt with the student's behaviour' or 'The banker deals in shares' NOUN definition = a business transaction or an agreement = The agreed on the deal after several meetings. I hope that helps you. Best wishes Laura

    Hello Batrud, Yes, it has a past tense. Deal is an irregular verb so its past tense does not end with -ed. Thus, the past tense of deal is dealt and its past participle is also dealt.

  • Hi Batrud, it's an irregular verb. THE V2 and V3 forms of the verb are the same. * BASE FORM (V.1) - DEAL * PAST SIMPLE FORM (V.2) - DEALT * PAST PARTICIPLE FORM (V.3) - DEALT Irregular verbs are one of the trickiest types of verbs to use because they don't follow the pattern. An English verb is irregular when it doesn't end in -D/-ED/-IED in the simple past tense and past participle form. You'll simply need to learn how to conjugate each irregular verb as you find them.
