Weak verbs form their past tense with a dental suffix, the form of which depends on the stem:
Weak verbs form their past tense with a dental suffix, the form of which depends on the stem:
* stems ending in ''-l, -m, -n, -nd'' or a voiceless consonant take ''-t'' (e.g. ''smelt'' 'smelled', ''fiyct'' 'fidgetted', ''lamt'' 'beat');
* stems ending in ''-l, -m, -n, -nd'' or a voiceless consonant take ''-t'' (e.g. ''smelt'' 'smelled', ''fiyct'' 'fidgetted', ''lamt'' 'beat');
* stems ending in ''-d'' or ''-t'' take ''-it'' (e.g. ''liltit'' 'hummed', ''bratit'' 'curdled'', ''breidit'' 'stretched');
* stems ending in ''-d'' or ''-t'' take ''-it'' (e.g. ''liltit'' 'hummed', ''bratit'' 'curdled'', ''breedit'' 'stretched');
* other stems take ''-d'' (e.g. ''bleðerd'' 'talked loudly', ''ligd'' 'lay', ''hiysd'' 'hoisted').
* other stems take ''-d'' (e.g. ''bleðerd'' 'talked loudly', ''ligd'' 'lay', ''hiysd'' 'hoisted').


A number of verbs in <''ee''> may undergo shortening in the past (e.g. ''bleed'' → ''bledd'', ''meet'' → ''mett'', ''sleep'' → ''slept/sleept''). A number of other verbs have a past tense ending in ''-ht'' (e.g. ''seec'' → ''souht'', ''wurc'' → ''wrouht'', ''lach'' 'catch' → ''lauht'').  
A number of verbs in <''ei''> may undergo shortening in the past. Those in ''eid, eit'' take an additional ''-d'' or ''-t'' (e.g. ''bleid'' → ''bledd'', ''meit'' → ''mett'', ''sleip'' → ''slept/sleept''). The following weak verbs are irregular in the past: ''teech'' 'show, explain' → ''taut'', ''seic'' 'seek' → ''sout'', ''þenc'' 'think' → ''þout'', ''wurc'' 'work' → ''wrout'', ''reec'' 'reach' → ''rout'', ''lach'' 'catch' → ''laut'', ''rec'' 'pay attention to' → ''rout'', ''dou'' 'be of use' → ''dout'', ''reic'' 'smell' → 'reyt''.
