LESSON XLIV.
Reading edition
A LIST OF THE VERBS OF THE STRONG CONJUGATION.
We learned in Lesson XLII. that regular verbs of the strong conjugation form their past tense by changing the vowel of the present, and their perfect participle by adding en or n to the present.
Note.—Sometimes one of these characteristics is wanting; as, chide, chid, chidden; sit, sat, sat.
