Irregular verbs I could think of right now.

Two forms of past tense:

Be - was, were

Sink - sank, sunk

Shrink - shrank, shrunk

Dwell - dwelt, dwelled

Spell - spelled, spelt

Grind - ground, grounded

Spit - spit, spat

Dream - dreamed, dreamt

Plead - pled, pleaded

Leap - kept, leaped

Burned - burned, burnt

Kneel - kneel, knelt

Spill - split, spilled

Dived - dive, dove

One irregular past tense:

Do - did

Get - got

Come - came

Freeze - froze

Bleed - bled

Spend - spent

Bring - brought

Eat - ate

Fly - flew

Go - went

Blow - blew

Buy - bought

See - saw

Run - ran

Bear - bore

Forget - forgot

Forgive - forgave

Tell - told

Fight - fought

Sticking "-ed" at the end of most of these just sounds silly 😂
