Verbs that form the past and past participle with something other than -ed.
Whether she's been taught the term or not, she ought to be able to see the difference between verbs such as "dance, danced, have danced" and "go, went, have gone." |

| I'm sure she just didn't recognize the term. Most (probably all) Korean teachers are much better versed in grammar than 90% of us waygookin teachers. |

I know what irregular verbs are. I was caught off guard when she responded the way she did. That's what I originally meant to say. |
I wasn't questioning your grammar -- just suggesting that you try giving her examples next time a term seems to confuse her.  My students, at least, often seem intimidated grammar terms until they see examples of said concept and action and realize they really *do* know what I'm talking about. Scarcely a grammar class goes by that I don't find myself resorting to some variant of, "You've been using {verb tenses/prepositions/gerunds/conditionals/etc.} since Let's Go X. We're simply calling them by their official name now that you're in middle school."  |

That tense is known as the redneck conditional subjunctive. |

Sounds "bul gyou cheek dong sa."
Or you could have given examples to her. |
