minus-squareaddie@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up0·16 days agoYeah; as a native and fairly well-educated speaker, I’m fucked if I can form the past participles of some of our verbs If I swim across a river, is it now the swimmed river? Swum river? Swam river? If I sneak into a room, have I sneaked? Snuck? Both sound wrong. Didn’t find anything ambiguous about ‘costed’, it works for me.
minus-squareCensored@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·16 days agoIf you swim across a river, it is now a river you’ve swum. If you sneak into a room, you have snuck in. Those are correct but they look and sound wrong.
