Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a learning activity designed to help students understand the difference between the past tense verbs “hanged” and “hung.” It consists of ten sentences with blanks where the words “hanged” or “hung” should be used, and students are instructed to circle the correct word. The directions clarify that “hanged” has a specific meaning- to be hanged by the neck until dead-and that “hung” is the past tense of “to hang” in all other contexts. Through this activity, students practice applying the correct term based on the meaning provided.

The worksheet is teaching students to use “hanged” exclusively in the context of capital punishment by hanging, whereas “hung” should be used for objects that have been suspended or for general past tense references of hanging. By carefully reading and analyzing each sentence, students learn to distinguish between these commonly confused verbs. This exercise aids in developing their grammar and vocabulary skills, particularly in understanding the nuances of English verb conjugation. Correct use of these verbs also enhances the students’ ability to write accurately and clearly.
