In the present simple tense, "draw" follows its base form for most subjects: "I draw," "you draw," "he/she/it draws," and so forth. For example, "She draws cartoons in her free time."

In the past simple tense, "draw" changes to "drew." This irregular form is used to recount actions that took place and concluded in the past. For instance, "He drew a map to help them find their way."

The past participle of "draw" is also "drawn." When forming perfect tenses, such as present perfect or past perfect, the past participle is combined with auxiliary verbs. An example sentence is "They have drawn some amazing pictures."

Understanding the irregular conjugation of "draw" is essential for accurately describing actions related to creating images or diagrams. The verb "draw" is also used in various idiomatic expressions, adding to its versatility in the English language.
