Everybody, study your English

[fuzzyjay]

OK, I'm tired of the present perfect tense (and anything else using a past participle) getting messed up. This is from one of my friends' posts on FaceBook:

"Rusty has gave up!"

Take this test, and if you get any wrong, keep studying:

I got all but one correct.

I have never ever used the word "swum" as a past-tense for swim. Weird.

I enjoyed that, especially making 100%:)

I'm proud to report that I got all of them correct except "swum" - whod've thunk?

the only way in which I'm 20/20

but I hate using these cause they all sound like

"Mumsy, I'm taking the corgis out for a walk on the estate, the little darlings have been chewing up the persian rugs beneath the grand piano all through teatime. Pip pip!"

Yay! I got them all right, too. But I DID have to think about "swum" a little bit. It's not a word I use a whole heck of a lot.
