    This document summarizes the conjugation of weak verbs in Old English. It explains that weak verbs form the past participle and preterite (past tense singular) forms by adding a dental suffix. It then provides examples of weak verb conjugations organized into three classes based on their preterite and past participle forms. Class I adds "-de" and "-d", Class II adds "-ode" and "-od", and Class III is irregular.
