If you find this content helpful and you would like the opportunity to discuss word choice and other language issues with me and other writers, consider joining my Facebook group. The group has different content than this site, but it does include muddles and any extra tidbits of information that go with them. Today in the group, I have shared what you should do about the past tense for each of these words. If that interests you, I would love to have you join us.
