    Hi,

    I'm having some trouble to find a definitive pattern in the Depersonal verbs, past tense.

    I understand the conjugations with -ać, -eć to -ano (czytać > czytano)

    My main issue is with -ić verb endings. They change to -iono or -to (bawić > bawiono and bić > bito). I feel that -bić ending verbs are the exception and I should follow the -iono ending with -ić verb endings

    I've checked all my textbooks, dictionaries and Oscar Swan 'Polish in a nutshell', but have been unable to find the solution.

    Thanks in advance,
    CG

    There's none, mate
    From what I remember from primary school was depersonal verbs in:
    - present tense end with -ć (czytać , bawić, pić, bić)
    - past tense end with -no (czytano, bawiono)
    - what just came to me - short (3-letter) verbs get -ć replaced with -to: (pito, bito)
    Thanks in advance,
