That's funny - I was just thinking today what a stupid language this is sometimes...we can say hang and hung as in "I hung up the towel" but when we hang a person they are hanged...
Also lay and lie, talk about confusing...
Hey, if we use all those words enough they will soon become real. Everyone teach them to your students and spread them on the internet. |
