There are no rules; the irregular ones have been inherited from the old language; there is a list of such verbs and you have to learn them by heart - it's as simple as that! All dictionaries must mention the 2nd and 3rd forms of all irregular verbs. The regular ones add a suffix - ED - to the Short Infinitive (1. the Y preceded by a consonant turns into I before ED; 2. the final consonant is doubled if it is preceded by a short vowel; 3. the verbs ending in E lose it before ED).
