2You can look up this information in certain dictionaries ... do you mean to ask how to determine this based on some aspect of the word's form or meaning?– herissonAug 15, 2019 at 16:32

2Weak verbs are propped up by a dental suffix; stong verbs have a vowel change. Just as in Present Day English, though they're mostly called irregular today.– KarlGAug 15, 2019 at 20:49
