In English there is just few addings like 'ed, ing', and apart some exceptions, there is not much hesitation to put them.
sure thing
can you add 'ed' to these verbs in English
put
catch
have
build
be
burn
fall
find
freeze
go
pay
buy
forget
make
...
...
The list goes on up to 700 words
You can probably build the whole new language based just on these "some exceptions"

English would be much easier w/o exceptional rules for these verbs
