The irregularities are not systematic: how it can be seen, both ''vaar'' and ''daar'' have got an infinitive in ''-aar'', but the former has got a root form ''vach-'' in the three singular persons, whereas the latter has got a root form ''doe-''. More systematic (but not ever) are the verbs whose infinitive ends in ''-Ver'': in the three singular persons the root form ends in ''-Vf'', ex.: ''id pluft'', "it rains", from ''pluer'', ''eg me laf'', "I wash (myself)", from ''laer-ze'', and so on.

However it is best to control in the dictionary how the root form of the irregular verbs changes.

===Simple past===
The past tense, ''preterrit'' in Aarlaansk, is used to express an action that has happened in the past, independently on when it has happened, if it is ended or not, if it affects the present and so on. It corresponds to English past simple and present perfect.
====Past tense of ''zer'' and ''haar''====
The past of these two irregular verbs is, obviously, quite irregular:
{| {{Table/bluetable}} style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle"
!'''Person'''
!'''Zer'''
!'''Haar'''
|-
!'''eg'''
|veu
|hu
|-
!'''toe''' / '''is'''
|veut
|huut
|-
!'''noes''' / '''woes''' / '''ïe'''
|veurn
|huurn
|}
In this tense, the 2nd and the 3rd singular persons share the same ending, as in the present tense.
====Past simple of regular verbs====
The past tense of regular verbs is formed by deleting the ending of the infinitive and by adding ''-ed'' for the singular first person and ''-edt'' for the other two singular persons. The plural persons voices are formed by adding ''-n'' to the infinitive form:
{| {{Table/bluetable}} style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle"
!'''Person'''
!'''Wider'''
!'''Rjalizer'''
!'''Diever'''
!'''Oder'''
|-
!'''eg'''
|wided / wijd (!)
|rjalized
|dieved
|oded
|-
!'''toe''' / '''is'''
|wideudt / wijdt (!)
|rjalizeudt
|dieveudt
|odeudt
|-
!'''noes''' / '''woes''' / '''ïe'''
|widern / wijdern (!)
|rjalizern
|dievern
|odern
|}
The verb ''wider'' has got two forms of this tense: a regular one, that is the most spread, and an irregular one, that is archaic and it is found mostly in books.
====Past of some irregular verbs====
Irregular verbs have, of course, irregular forms for the past of indicative. It is important to remember that neither the singular forms nor the plural ones are made starting from the infinitive:
{| {{Table/bluetable}} style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle"
!'''Person'''
!'''Vaar'''
!'''Ijr'''
!'''Daar'''
!'''Duir'''
!'''Vluer'''
|-
!'''eg'''
|vech
|euw
|ded
|duis
|vlus
|-
!'''toe''' / '''is'''
|vecht
|euft
|dedt
|duist
|vlust
|-
!'''noes''' / '''woes''' / '''ïe'''
|vechern (!)
|iern
|deddern
|duisern
|vlussern
|}
Please, note that the radical ''-e-'' of the form ''vech/t'' is short, whereas in the form ''vechern'' it becomes long.
===Present perfect and past perfect===
Beside the ''preterrit'' there is another verbal form that expresses an action that has happened in the past: the '''pervecht'''. This form is similar to the English present perfect, because it is formed with the present of the verb ''haar'' and the past participle of the main verb. In Aarlaansk, however, this form is completely interchangeable with the ''preterrit'' form: it is just a matter of style and of formality, because the ''pervecht'' is more used among friends and in colloquial speech, whereas the ''preterrit'' is more used in written language and in formal meetings.
When the auxiliary ''haar'' is in its past tense, then we obtain the past perfect or '''pluispervecht'''. This tense refers to actions that happened in the past before other actions that happened in the past too.
====Present perfect of ''zer'' and ''haar''====
The auxiliary verb is always ''haar'':
{| {{Table/bluetable}} style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle"
!'''Person'''
!'''Zer'''
!'''Haar'''
|-
!'''eg'''
|haf zit
|haf heit
|-
!'''toe''' / '''is'''
|haft zit
|haft heit
|-
!'''noes''' / '''woes''' / '''ïe'''
|haan zit
|haan heit
|}
====Present perfect of regular verbs====
Even for the regular verbs the auxiliary verb is always ''haar'':
{| {{Table/bluetable}} style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle"
!'''Person'''
!'''Wider'''
!'''Rjalizer'''
!'''Diever'''
!'''Oder'''
|-
!'''eg'''
|haf wijst (!)
|haf rjalizit
|haf dievit
|haf odit
|-
!'''toe''' / '''is'''
|haft wijst (!)
|haft rjalizit
|haft dievit
|haft odit
|-
!'''noes''' / '''woes''' / '''ïe'''
|haan wijst (!)
|haan rjalizit
|haan dievit
|haan odit
|}
As it can be seen, the past participle of the regular verbs is formed by adding the ending ''-it'' to the root form. It is also true that not all the regular verbs have got a regular past participle (cf. ''wider'' > ''wijst''), in these cases it is always best to use the dictionary.
====Present perfect of irregular verbs====
The irregular verbs maintain their irregularity in the form of the past participle used with the auxiliary:
{| {{Table/bluetable}} style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle"
!'''Person'''
!'''Vaar'''
!'''Ijr'''
!'''Daar'''
!'''Duir'''
!'''Vluer'''
|-
!'''eg'''
|haf vacht
|haf ijt
|haf daat
|haf duicht
|haf vlust
|-
!'''toe''' / '''is'''
|haft vacht
|haft ijt
|haft daat
|haft duicht
|haft vlust
|-
!'''noes''' / '''woes''' / '''ïe'''
|haan vacht
|haan ijt
|haan daat
|haan duicht
|haan vlust
|}
====Past perfect====
This tense is called ''pluispervecht'' in Aarlaansk and it corresponds to the English past perfect: it is used to express a past action that happened before another one.
The ''pluispervecht'' is formed with the past of the verb ''haar'' and the past participle of the main verb, ex.:
{| {{Table/bluetable}} style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle"
!'''Person'''
!'''Zer'''
!'''Haar'''
|-
!'''eg'''
|hu zit
|hu heit
|-
!'''toe''' / '''is'''
|huut zit
|huut heit
|-
!'''noes''' / '''woes''' / '''ïe'''
|huurn zit
|huurn heit
|}
