Circle What Works

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a grammatical exercise designed to teach the correct use of the words “hanged” and “hung.” It consists of ten sentences with a blank space where students are asked to circle the correct word between “hanged” and “hung.” The sentences are constructed to represent situations that would typically require the use of one of these two words, focusing on their proper contextual use. The task requires students to apply their understanding of the difference between these commonly confused past tense forms of the verb “to hang.”

The worksheet is aimed at reinforcing the distinct meanings and uses of “hanged” and “hung” in the English language. “Hanged” is traditionally used when referring to death by hanging, while “hung” is used for all other meanings involving suspending or dangling objects. By completing this exercise, students learn to discern which word to use in various contexts, thereby improving their grammatical accuracy. This activity also aids in vocabulary development and helps students to pay attention to the context when choosing words for sentence construction.
