Dictionary says that abide might have two variants of past simple and past participle forms: Abide-abided-abided (meaning bear, stand) Abide-abode-abided (meaning live/stay in place) But what is the correct forms for a phrasal verb 'abide by' (meaning obey). By the way, could you say whether I pronounce the following properly? Is my intonation correct?

Chambers gives past tense as abided, abode and abid. Past participle as abided, abode or abidden. It doesn't distinguish between the two senses of the word. Your pronunciation is fine.

I am a native speaker and I cannot remember ever hearing anyone use any past tense of "abide". The only context when I recall hearing "abide" is the construction "cannot abide" / "could not abide" or similar, meaning "cannot bear", "cannot stand" / "could not bear", "could not stand" or the like. I would recommend avoiding any other forms of this verb, particularly if you are a non-native speaker.

PAY ATTENTION: I have made a mistake in my question. It should have been "abide-abided-abided" and "abide-abode-abode"!
