Irregular Past Tense Verbs (List 2)

We have learned that the suffix ed is

usually added to verbs to show past
tense.
For example: jump, jumped
The verbs below are irregular past tense
verbs that do not follow the same
pattern. You cannot add ed to the base
word. The base word changes to show
past tense.
For example: catch, caught
sleep, slept

clean
reach
speak
dream
weak
scream
treat
teach
least
really
