Question

Identify the regular verb from the given verbs-
a) Bid
b) Bade
c) Bidden
d) Bang

Answer 1

Hint: A verb following the normal pattern of inflection is known as a regular verb. For example reading, writing, etc.

Complete answer:
 A regular verb is any verb whose conjugation follows a different pattern, or one of the typical patterns, of the language to which it belongs. A verb whose conjugation follows a different pattern is called an irregular verb. For example The general rule is that regular verbs form the past tense by adding –ed.
Now, we will examine all the options to find out the correct answer :
Option ‘a’ Bid. Bid means to offer (a certain price) for something, especially at an auction or to make an effort or attempt to achieve something. For example, A consortium of dealers bid a world record price for a snuff box.
Option ‘b’ Bade. Bade is the past tense of bid which means to utter (a greeting or farewell) or command or order to do something. For example James bade a tearful farewell to his parents.
Option ‘c’ Bidden. Bidden is an archaic or literary past participle of bid. For example We are bidden to shake off complacency, to get rid of restrictive practices, and to raise productivity.
Option ‘d’ Bang. Bang means to strike or put down (something) forcefully and noisily. For example : He began to bang the table with his fist.
We have examined all the options given. Bang is the regular verb. Option ‘d’ is the correct option.

Note:
All the other options are plausible distractions. The classification of verbs as regular or irregular is to some extent a subjective matter. If some conjugational paradigm in a language is followed by a limited number of verbs, or it requires the specification of more than one principal part.
