Here are the 25 most common verbs in English, along with their simple past and past participle forms:
* Be - was/were - been
* Have - had - had
* Do - did - done
* Say - said - said

It's important to note that the first three verbs (be, have, and do) can also function as auxiliary verbs, which means they help to form other verb tenses. For example:
* Be + present participle = present continuous tense (e.g., I am eating.)
* Have + past participle = present perfect tense (e.g., I have eaten.)
* Do + base form = present simple tense (e.g., I do eat.)
By learning these common verbs and how they are used, you can significantly improve your English fluency and communication skills.
