V1 (base form) is describe, V2 (past simple) is described, and V3 (past participle) is described. The -ing form is describing and the he / she / it form is describes.
It is recorded as a regular verb in this table. Its V2 form is described, not describeed — that is why it is grouped as irregular. The portal rates it medium.
V2 stands alone in the past simple — Described at six. V3 is never used on its own: it follows has / have / had in the perfect tenses, and am / is / are / was / were in the passive voice.
It means वर्णन करना.
Yes — it is flagged IELTS-relevant on the portal, which means it shows up often in reading and writing tasks. Knowing all five forms matters because IELTS uses the perfect tense and the passive voice heavily.
