EXCEPTIONS ?


© - Tom Hyland - 1/3/12


Present - Past - Past Perfect ...

Ring - Rang - Rung ...
A Bell.

Sing - Sang - Sung ...
A Song.

Bring - Brang - Brung ...
Oops! Not So!
Bring - Brought - Brought ...
Why?

Lie - Lay - Laid ...
To Position.

Vie - Vay - Vaid ...
To Compete.
Oops! Not So!
Why Not?

Vie - Vied - Vied ...
Correct Answer.

Lie - Lied - Lied ...
An Untruth.

Say - Said - Said ...
To Speak.

Stay - Staid - Staid ...
Nope!
Stay - Stayed - Stayed ...

Tie - Tay - Taid ...
Not Hardly!
Tie - Tied - Tied ...


Am, Be, Is, Are - Was, Were - Has, Have, Had Been ...
The Verb - To Be.

Confusing?

No Wonder Espanol Is ‘Second’ Language!


Is The ‘Citizenship Test’ In English?


“Exceptions R Us!”

A most confusing language, indeed. I better brush up on my Polish; my dogs seem to prefer it, and it drives my wife nuts when she can't understand what I'm telling them!

Tom,

You've captured the English language beautifully! i know some foreigners that speak English but not well. Oh, the confusion they go through! A very dear friend of mine is from India, and when he tries to speak slang, he'll have you rolling on the floor! Hugs,
Mary
