Some verbs can be both regular and irregular, for example: learn, learned, learned learn, learnt, learnt Some verbs have one meaning when regular and a different meaning when irregular, for example the verb to hang: BASE PAST PAST REGULAR hang PARTICIPLE hanged hanged IRREGULAR hang hung hung MEANING to kill or die, by dropping with a rope around the neck to fix something (for example, a picture) at the top so that the lower part is free EXAMPLE When will they hang the murderer? / They have hanged him already. He was hanged at dawn. Where will you hang the new picture? / I've hung it already. I hung it in the lobby. Page 1 of 7
