"swim/swam/swum"

Tuesday, April 5, 2016
 Consider this expression: "I have swum and I don't need to go to the bathroom again." Many are likely not to understand that "swum" is the past participle form of "swim". See "swim/swam/swum". Let me exemplify the three forms. I swim always I swam yesterday. I have swum. CAUTION: Never say "swam" when you should say "swum", or the other way round. I hope this is clear enough?
