Sentence usage

Hi.

Some verbs are regular , some verbs are irregular

how do you determine when to use regular or irregular verbs?

Hi,

You just decide which verb to use without worrying about whether it is regular or irregular. Then you use it correctly.

That's why people who are learning English have to learn which verbs are irregular, and how to use them correctly.

Best wishes, Clive

So would bursted in the sentence above also work or make sense?

Hi,

No. You need to use an irregular verb in the correct irregular form.

Where and how would I learn to use an irregular verb in the correct irregular form?

I just have to memorize the irregular verb forms?

There has to be an explanation tho.

Why is it burst and not bursted?

"Burst" is the correct past tense of "burst." It's an irregular verb; that's why the past tense does not end in "-ed".

But dictionaries have bursted as the past tense of burst!

Hi,

Where and how would I learn to use an irregular verb in the correct irregular form?

Consider the verb 'be' as an example. That's an extremely irregular verb.

Where and how did you learn to use it?
