English is an odd languge. Whats the point of having regular and irregular verbs when you cant tell how the verb will conjugate just by looking at it? (or even if its a verb for that matter)
I'll just stick to German, if it don't end in -en its not a verb (except sein), and it ALWAYS conjugates regularily in the present, again unless its sein. You can ALWAYS spell a word by pronouncing it right, providing, of course, that you know the correct pronunciations in German. I'm ready to kill my classmates who refuse to pronounce w's as v's, and v's as f's, Wo, Was, Wie, and viel, aren't words, they are Vo, Vas, Vie, and fiel (spelled phonetically, or is it fonetically).
Shouldn't lose be pronounced lohz, with that e after o giving it an 'oh' sound.
