How do you correct the following sentence, “I have hanged the clothes on the string after washing them.”?
There are these errors:
- First, unless you’re executing the clothes for murder, you would say hung, not hanged. the word “hanged” is only used for death by hanging. All other meanings use “hung”.
- Second, ‘string’ is the wrong word. A string gives the connotation of something that would be too thin to hold clothes.
- Third, the verb tenses are a bit off. You start with the present perfect “I have hung” which doesn’t really make sense in this context, because you’re not referencing a different timeframe. Plus “after washing them” doesn’t match the verb tense of the beginning.
Try it like this:
- “I hung the clothes on the line after I washed them.”
