The "irregularities" of irregular verbs

Traditionally, students of English have been asked to memorize long lists of irregular verbs, which they forget as soon as the exams are over. Remember, if you forget the irregular past or past participle,English people will understand you if you turn the verb into a regular form by adding -ed.
After all, language is used to communicate....
(I am bound to admit that even good students will find this activity very hard indeed)

Try to find the 20 English irregular verbs which mean the following:
