Yes, some of the verbs follow standard patterns. The book "301 Polish Verbs" by Klara Janecki should be fairly widely available. I can't remember if I got mine online or from a bookstore. It has the verbs in all the tenses, in perfective and imperfective forms.

This age difference thing always reminds me of the scene from Friends....
Joey: Oh, well think of it like this, when you're 90...
Ross: I know, when I'm 90 she'll be like 80 and it won't seem like such a big difference.
Joey: No, that's not what I was going to say at all. No, what I was going to say is when you're 90 you'll still have the memory of what it was like to be with a 20-year-old.
