Past participle - regular verbs with altered stem

Some verbs form their past participles like a regular verb, but use the same altered stem as for the simple past:

ge + altered stem + (e)t.

Er hat das schon gewusst.
Ich habe sie lange gekannt.
Hast du Wein gebracht?
He knew that already.
I have been acquainted with her for a long time.
Did you bring wine?

If the verb begins with an unaccented syllable the ge- prefix is not used.

Wir haben euch nicht erkannt.
We didn't recognize you.

The past participle forms for the regular verbs with altered stem may be found in the list of principal parts of verbs.
