In “Most Dangerous ‘Sport’ of All May Be Cheerleading,” the author uses strong verbs to describe what happens in cheerleading. Many verbs in English form their past and past participle forms simply by adding –d or –ed to their base form. Other verbs, called irregular verbs, change their base form in various ways to create the past and past participle.
