Some of the verbs in our table are merely prefixed forms of an irregular verb. Thus, if you learn only a single irregular verb, you can be certain that any other prefixed variant on that verb is irregular in the exact same manner. Look at the following examples:
bid - forbid
cast - broadcast - forecast
go - forego - undergo
get - forget
stand - understand - withstand
tell - foretell
take - overtake - undertake
The trend, in English, and especially in American English, is to standardize the irregular verbs. We do not foresee all the irregular verbs ever being standardized, but some of the more minor variations in less commonly used words will probably disappear in the next genration or two.
The following English irregular verbs are now obsolete and use the standard past and participle forms (-ed).
