Unregelmäßige Verben
Bei dieser Gruppe ist es schon etwas komplizierter. Sie hat aber mit den beiden vorigen Gruppen gemeinsam, dass Past und Perfect jeweils gleich sind:
| Present | Past | Perfect |
|---|---|---|
| creep | crept | crept |
| keep | kept | kept |
| sleep | slept | slept |
| feed | fed | fed |
| lead | led | led |
| meet | met | met |
| feel | felt | felt |
| hold | held | held |
| find | found | found |
| get | got | got |
| shoot | shot | shot |
| have | had | had |
| sit | sat | sat |
| spit | spat | spat |
| hang | hung | hung |
| swing | swung | swung |
| leave | left | left |
| lose | lost | lost |
| make | made | made |
| sell | sold | sold |
| tell | told | told |
| shine | shone | shone |
| stand | stood | stood |
| stick | stuck | stuck |
| strike | struck | struck |
| win | won | won |
Diese würden prima in die vorige Gruppe passen. Ich habe sie jedoch in einer eigenen Gruppe zusammengefasst - wegen ihrer auffälligen Schreibweise:
| bring | brought | brought |
| buy | bought | bought |
| catch | caught | caught |
| fight | fought | fought |
| teach | taught | taught |
| think | thought | thought |
Bei diesen drei ist das Perfect gleich dem Infinitive:
| become | became | become |
| come | came | come |
| run | ran | run |
Hier wird aus dem "i" im Infinitive ein "a" im Past und ein "u" im Perfect:
| begin | began | begun |
| drink | drank | drunk |
| ring | rang | rung |
| sing | sang | sung |
| sink | sank | sunk |
| stink | stank | stunk |
| swim | swam | swum |
