Preterite-Present Verbs
Pages 97-100
A small number of very common verbs have a mixture of strong and weak forms:
specifically, their present tense looks like the past tense of a strong verb (as it once was
in the pre-history of the language). These don’t present too much trouble because their
modern descendents are similarly irregular.
