To identify the root word, ending, and irregular forms of the word, follow these steps:
1. Look at the forms provided: ride, rides, rode, riding.
2. The root word is the base form without any changes or additional endings. In this case, the root word is "ride."
3. Circle the ending of each word. In all of the given forms, the ending is "e."
4. Determine the irregular forms by looking for changes that do not follow the usual pattern. In this case, the irregular form is "rode" because it does not add a typical "-ed" ending like the other forms.

- ride: root word (underline), ending (circle)
- rides: root word (underline), ending (circle)
- rode: root word (underline), ending (circle), irregular form (box)
- riding: root word (underline), ending (circle)
