No rule for this one — only patterns to recognize
"Machen" is a boring verb in the best way: the stem never moves, no matter the tense — machen, machte, gemacht. "Finden" isn't so kind: the vowel inside the stem itself changes as the tense changes — finden, fand, gefunden. There's no ending rule that gets you from finden to fand. You either recognize the pattern or you don't.
These vowel shifts aren't random, though — they follow a limited set of recurring patterns (called Ablaut). Four of the most common:
| Muster | Infinitiv | Präteritum | Partizip II |
|---|---|---|---|
| i – a – u | finden | fand | gefunden |
| e – a – o | nehmen | nahm | genommen |
| ei – ie – ie | schreiben | schrieb | geschrieben |
| a – u – a | fahren | fuhr | gefahren |
