  Certainly. Here’s an example of a regular verb and how it is conjugated in different tenses:

  The verb “walk” is a regular verb in English. Here’s how it is conjugated:

  Present Tense:

  I walk

  You walk

  He/She/It walks

  We walk

  They walk

  Past Tense:

  I walked

  You walked

  He/She/It walked

  We walked

  They walked

  Future Tense:

  I will walk

  You will walk

  He/She/It will walk

  We will walk

  They will walk

  The key characteristics of a regular verb like “walk” are:

  The base form remains the same (walk).

  For the past tense, the verb simply adds “-ed” to the base form (walked).

  For the present tense, most persons use the base form, except 3rd person singular which adds “-s” (walks).

  For the future tense, the verb uses the modal “will” plus the base form.

  Regular verbs follow predictable patterns for conjugation, making them easier to learn and use compared to irregular verbs. This consistency is an important feature of regular verbs in the English language.
