Class VII The most common are the following patterns:

a - eo - eo - a
ea - co - eo - ea

hatan - het - heton - haten (to call);

As a result of later developments, only a few remnants of the original seven classes of strong verbs can be found in Modern English; verbs formerly belonging to classes I, IlI a, b, IV, VI survive to some extent; others have changed beyond recognition. A significant number of the verbs belonging to the seven classes of the strong conjugation have changed into the weak conjugation: many others disappeared altogether and semantically have been replaced by other verbs, borrowed from other languages (Latin or French).
