Find the incorrect part of the sentence:
The thief was hung for his crimes.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Hanged vs. Hung: In English, the word ‘hanged’ is the past and past participle form of ‘hang’ and is used when referring to execution or death by hanging.
The word hung is used for all other contexts, such as suspending an object (e.g., "I hung the picture on the wall").
Correction: Since the sentence refers to a thief receiving a death penalty for crimes, the correct sentence is: "The thief was hanged for his crimes."
