The example for an irregular verb: gehen (to go), ging, gegangen. Ich gehe, ich ging, ich bin gegangen. For the perfect you sometimes have to use additionally a form of "haben" (to have) or "sein" (to be). For both of the futures you also use the present or the perfect form together with a form of "to be". :-) Alex the Native German Teacher read less
