Old English verbs

An example of one of the Old English verbs from the passage - in full -

witan, to know: Present tense Past tense
I wat wiste
You singular wast wistest
He she it wat wiste
We, you (plural) they witon wiston
Participles: witende gewitan

How does this compare with any other language you may know or be learning? Keep your wits about you!
