Hmm.
The verbs in this drill are all among the twenty-five that
occur most frequently in the Old English Aerobics Anthology;
but each of them has forms that vary in some way from the
basic paradigms in Introduction to Old English
§7.1.1. The instructions for each task will direct you to the
section of Introduction to Old English that explains
the variant forms.
As with the other “drill” exercises, you should aim for a
perfect score, and repeat it until you can do it perfectly.
This is the end of the exercise. If you didn't get a score of
64, study the relevant sections of Introduction to Old
English and repeat this exercise until you can do it
perfectly.
