HUNG je pretekla oblika glagola “hang” in hkrati tudi njegov pretekli deležnik. Na primer:
Last week you hung upside down from the monkey bars on the playground.
I have hung around a wrong bunch of people lately.
Glagol “hang” pa ima v pretekli obliki tudi izjemo, in sicer HANGED. To obliko bomo lahko uporabili zgolj v enem kontekstu, in sicer ko govorimo o nekogaršnji usmrtitvi z obešanjem.
Many witches in the middle ages were burnt at the stake or hanged.
Če boste kdaj v dvomih, katero obliko torej uporabiti, se spomnite stavka:
Curtains are hung and people are hanged.
