Answer 1

Hint: Verbs are the action words in a sentence that describe what the subject is doing. For example: Maria sings. There are regular verb (example: work – worked) and irregular verb (example: dream – dreamt)

Complete step by step answer:
We have to find the incorrect form of the irregular verb “ride”.
Option A) Rode – is an incorrect answer because rode is the simple past of ride. In the past tense, the root changes, with the "i" changing to "o," to form the verb "rode". Thus, this is an incorrect option.
Option B) Rid – is the correct answer because rid is totally a different word from ride. The meaning of rid is ‘to be free of something’. Thus, this is the correct answer as this is the incorrect form of the irregular verb ‘ride’.
Option C) Ridden – is an incorrect answer because ridden is the past participle. Thus, we will not consider this option.
Option D) Ride – is an incorrect answer because ride is the simple present. And it is a form of irregular verb. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Rid (option B) is an incorrect form of the irregular verb ‘ride’..

Note:
An English verb can be regular or irregular. Regular verbs form their past and past participle forms by adding –ed to the end of word. For example: walk – walked. Irregular verbs are common verbs that do not follow the normal rule of adding –d, –ed or –ied to the end of the word to form their past simple and past participle. For example: drink – drank or blow – blew. However, irregular verb ride – ride is present simple, rode is past simple and ridden is the past participle.
