Grind

From Teflpedia

Grind (/graɪnd/) is an English verb with a primary meaning “To reduce to smaller pieces by crushing with lateral motion.”[1]

Grind is an irregular lexical verb; it has the third person form “grinds" (/graɪndz/), the -ing form “grinding" (/graɪndɪŋ(g)/), but an irregular preterite and past participle “ground" (/graʊnd/). The latter two may be over-regularised to “grinded" (/graɪndɪd/). Its irregular pattern is the same as “bind,” “find” and “wind.”

Ground is a homonym with a regular lexical verb, ground.[2]
