Introduction
Acquisition of irregular verbs by non-native speakers is a topic of great interest in the field of second language acquisition. Irregular verbs pose a unique challenge for non-native speakers due to their unpredictable patterns and forms. Understanding how non-native speakers acquire and use irregular verbs can provide valuable insights for language educators and learners.
This project aims to investigate the acquisition of irregular verbs by non-native speakers, with a focus on the challenges they face and the strategies they use to overcome these challenges. By examining the factors that influence the acquisition of irregular verbs, this study seeks to contribute to our understanding of second language acquisition and inform language teaching practices.
