hung/hanged, drug/dragged?

Question

I was taught that a picture was hung, but a person was hanged. So was the toy drug across the floor, and the person dragged? Is there a rule?

Answer 1

You are correct about hung/hanged. "Drug" as past tense for "drag" does not exist. The past tense of "drag" is "dragged" regardless of what is being dragged. The past tense of "drug" (meaning to introduce drugs into a person's system) is "drugged".

Answer 2

Yes a person is hanged, but think about it for a second. The toy is dragged across the floor

Answer 3

past tense for hang is HUNG. like we hung out last week or she hung up the phone ...

the toy was DRAGGED across the floor. dont be confused =)

just note which words has the ed for past tense ... there is flash - flashed and sting - stung.

Answer 4

You carry % up your outfits. interior the previous demanding you will have hung up your outfits. you're hanged once you have a noose around your neck. you do no longer use drug the way you utilize it. the right word is dragged. it extremely is not significant the way it "sounds" to you, English etiquette is what that's.

Answer 5

You are definitely right about 'hang'. Why would you think that 'drug' was the past tense of 'drag' ? You seem to connect it with the hang and hung thing. Past tense of lack is not luck, past tense of sag is not sug, past tense of stack is not stuck, so why would you think past tense of drag is drug?

Answer 6

A person is hung. When you say hand its like ' You will hang someone.'
'You grag a toy across the room.'
'Drug the toy across the room' would not make sense.

Answer 7

I don't believe "drug" -- in the context of moving something -- is even a verb. The hung/hanged conundrum is true, however.

Answer 8

no a person is hung

Answer 9

DUH!!!!!!!
