Hi Coralie,
The past tense of this irregular verb is formed by dropping an 'e'. Therefore you have the word 'bred'. This is the past tense. There are not many words like these but you will meet them up from time to time and should know how to use it in a sentence when referring to things of the past.
Hope this helps.
