List of 200 english irregular verbs in text or .tsv format
In the coding trenches, language barriers might not be lines of code, but they can still present challenges. For developers who appreciate the power of both clean code and clear communication, we present a valuable resource: a list of 200 English irregular verbs in text and TSV (Tab-Separated Values) format, complete with French translations.
This blog post is a developer's language toolkit, designed for seamless integration into your coding workflow. Whether you're working on documentation, localization, or collaborating with an international team, this curated list is here to make your life easier.
Dive into this concise yet powerful list, break down the complexities of irregular verb conjugations, and empower your coding journey with linguistic finesse.
