(For Americans, mostly) The past tense ending -t becoming -ed: are there some exceptions?

So while I say "dreamt", others say "dreamed". I turned a few other words in my head, and thought "Surely they can't have a -ed ending?" For example, "built". In AmE, I don't think it's "builded"- it's "built". Can 你 name some other exceptions?

The only exceptions are with irregular verbs.
I think this is a complete 列表 of all irregular verbs in AmE

The exception doesn't apply to ALL irregular verbs, though.
For example, Zinc, saw (wood) and Thrive. Those are still conjugated to zinced, sawed, and thrived.

I think almost all past tense endings are -ed and 你 just have to memorize which ones have -t.
