The verb "outspring" is an irregular and somewhat archaic verb in English, used to describe the action of springing forth more forcefully or rapidly than someone or something else. Its conjugation deviates from the regular pattern for verbs. In the present simple tense, "outspring" follows its base form for most subjects: "I outspring," "you outspring," "he/she/it outsprings," and so on. In the past simple tense, "outspring" changes to "outsprang." This form is used to describe actions that occurred and concluded in the past. The past participle of "outspring" is "outsprung." This form is used in perfect tenses, such as present perfect, past perfect, and future perfect. For example, "He has outsprung his competitors." While "outspring" was once more commonly used to describe sudden, dynamic movements, it is now considered archaic and is rarely used in modern English. Contemporary verbs like "leap," "spring," or "jump" are more frequently employed today. You might encounter "outspring" in older literary works or poetic language, where it can add a dramatic or formal tone.
Regular verbs are verbs that follow a consistent pattern when forming their past tense and past participle by adding "-ed" to the base form.
