A LIST OF THE VERBS OF THE STRONG CONJUGATION.

We learned in Lesson XLII. that regular verbs of the strong conjugation

form their past tense by changing the vowel of the present, and their

_Note._—Sometimes _one_ of these characteristics is wanting;

as, _chide_, _chid_, _chidden_; _sit_, _sat_, _sat_.
