Practice with Quizlet-- The "common irregular verbs" are the ones you need the most often.  The order of the sets is based on a German website that measured "frequency of use" and says these verbs are in order from most often used to less used.  These verbs include all the verbs in the back of Ventures 2.
You don't need any past participles (third form) to pass my level, but if you learn them now, the next level will be easier for you.
