About this deck
Learn 100 high-utility English irregular verbs through forms, meaning and context. Every card gives the base verb, past form, past participle, a natural original example for each form and a usage note where a variant or common contrast matters. The deck covers both American and British English: the more frequent shared form is shown first, regional alternatives are labelled, and rare forms are kept in notes rather than presented as the default. Import the complete deck free, then edit any example to match the English variety you use.
Frequently asked
- Does importing this deck cost anything?
- No. Importing uses the saved deck as published; it does not run AI generation or use AI credits. The complete deck can therefore be imported on the free plan.
- What happens if I import the same deck twice?
- Nothing is duplicated. Cards you already have are skipped, so a second import only adds what is genuinely new. Including re-imports after deletion, the same Memly curated deck can be imported up to three times per account over its lifetime.
- Can I edit the cards after importing?
- Yes. Once imported they are your own cards — rewrite either side, delete what you do not need, or move them into another deck.
- Does this work in the mobile app?
- Yes. The import happens on your account, so the same deck appears on the web and in the iOS and Android apps.
- Does the deck include both American and British forms?
- Yes. The shared or more frequent form is presented first. Common regional alternatives such as burned/burnt, learned/learnt and gotten/got are labelled on the relevant card, while rare variants are kept in usage notes.
