First of all, there is a difference between British and American English. Like any other modern language, English is constantly changing and transforming. Why do some irregular verbs have more than one past form? Should we learn both? And misunderstand has the same forms as understand: misunderstand - misunderstood - misunderstood. For example, overhear is the same as hear: overhear - overheard - overheard. We left out rarely used words you will hardly hear today like shoe - shod - shod.īesides, if we add a-, be-, for-, in-, inter-, mis-, off-, out-, over-, pre-, re-, un-, under-, up-, with- to the infinitive of an irregular verb, its past forms will stay the same.
