The infinitive ending is commonly -an, which is similar to the modern [[German]] -en infinitive ending.  Also the orthographic cognate ge- is used in both German and Anglo-Saxon to represent the past tense, even if they are not pronounced the same way, and in Standard [[High German]], the prefix is required, whereas the Anglo-Saxon one is more optionalThe [[Weak]] past tense marker insert -ed-, whereas the [[Strong]] past tense usually involves a vowel change.
