Question

Which principal part of the verb best completes this sentence? Last summer Jesse __________ across Long Island Sound to raise money for charity. A. swims B. swam C. swim D. swum

Answer 1

 Jesse SWIM across, Does that sound right? NO! So cancel that word out of the selection and we are left with..  Jesse SWUM across  and  Jesse SWAM across.  I would go with SWUM, because swam sounds more like a present kind of thing, and they are talking about last summer. So He SWUM.
