What about a verb like "fall"?
The present participle is still formed by adding -ing.
The past and past participle, however, are NOT formed by adding -ed.
The verb "fall" is one of many irregular verbs. Irregular verbs are verbs whose past and past participle forms are not made by adding -ed to the present.
Present Present Participle Past Past
Participle
fall is falling fell has fallen

Why does it matter?
Using the incorrect form of the verb is probably one of the most common errors that people make when they write or speak.
Choose the correct sentences below:
I have ran this race before.
OR
I have run this race before.
I have wrote my essay.
OR
I have written my essay.

Why does it matter?
Knowing when to use a helping verb (have, has, or had) with the correct form of the verb helps you speak and write correctly.
For example, "ran" is the past tense of "run." It is NEVER correct to use a helping verb with "ran."
Likewise, "wrote" is the past tense of "write." It is NEVER correct to use a helping verb with "wrote."
I have ran this race before.
OR
I have run this race before.
I have wrote my essay.
OR
I have written my essay.

So how are you supposed to know all the different forms of the irregular verbs?
For this one, there is no button.
You just have to memorize the four principal parts of the irregular verbs.
The good news is that they generally form patterns that can help you learn them quickly.
More good news - the present participle of any verb is always formed by adding -ing. So, it's really the past and past participle that you must be concerned with. In the charts that follow, you won't find the present participle (the part of the verb that ends in -ing) since it's always the same for any verb.
