In English grammar, a strong verb is a verb that forms its past tense and past participle forms through a process of vowel change, rather than by simply adding -ed or -en to the base form of the verb. This is in contrast to weak verbs, which form their past tense and past participle forms by adding -ed or -en to the base form of the verb.

For example, the verb "sing" is a strong verb because its past tense form is "sang" and its past participle form is "sung," which are formed through a process of vowel change. In contrast, the verb "walk" is a weak verb because its past tense form is "walked" and its past participle form is "walked," which are formed by simply adding -ed to the base form of the verb.

Strong verbs often have a more distinctive and memorable sound than weak verbs, which can make them more effective in literature and poetry. They are also considered more interesting and expressive.
