Cling/Clung; Swing/Swung; Bring/Brung...oh-oh!

Remember when you had to memorize that long, loooonnnngggg list of “irregular verbs”? They just kept multiplying. The list is so long that these little Do-Be’s are blamed for the difficulty in learning U.S. language. Stay on the safe side; check your dictionary — which lists verbs in order: present tense and past tense (which is the case we’re talking about). If you’re wondering, the past tense of cling is clung; the past tense of swing is swung; the past tense of bring is brought.
