Really is how or what fashion you want or should use the word.
Example: "My Rang shrank when Shrunk rung it". Does that help?
Happy New Year !

It will depend on usage. Both 'shrank' and 'shrunk' are acceptable and in dictionaries. The same is true for your other two words - it will depend on usage. See, you remembered just fine!

it depends on the words ur saying w/ those words like:

OR
the telephone rung until the voicemail picked it up

Here is the difference,sweetie:
*Shrink: Present tense.
Shrank or Shrunk: Past tense.
Shrunk: Past participle tense.
*Ring: Present tense.
Rang:Past tense.
Rung: Past participle tense.
