Explanation: In most cases principal parts of verbs forms, are derived from the root form, which is not conjugated. It does not have a prefix nor a suffix. It is accompanied by a "To" before the word. Therefore: To Shake. (the infinitive form)

2.Present Participle - adding (ing) to the root word. - in this case it follows the norm. Example: The dog is shaking its fur after a good bath.

3.Past - adding (ed) to the root word - does not follow the norm. - Shook.                                                                                         Example:  The dog shook its fur after the bath.

4.Past participle - adding (have, has and had + ed) to the root word- does not follow the norm. - Had shaken.                      Example: Before I could get hold of the dog's chain it had shaken its fur and splashed water on the visitors.
