Preterite-present verbs and the Germanic weak preterite have already attracted considerable scholarly interest. Usually, however, they are treated separately. One of the aims of the present monograph is to illustrate the history of Germanic preterite-present verbs against a broader background, with special reference to six preterite-presents that developed into Present-Day English modal auxiliaries. Another aim is to draw a parallel between the weak preterite markers in the Germanic preterite-present and weak verbs, and show the evolution of English preterite -ed in a new light.
