We hang around all day.
The picture was hung on the wall.
He was a hanged man.
I don't have time this morning to do all of them for you, I'm sorry, Snuggs.
I would accept your apology, except I'm still too hurt right now.
To add:
their there they're
Their books are over there, but they're unread as of yet.
Have a great day!

Snuggs09: You would think I would know how to use words of the English language but I have to admit, I get stuck on a few of them.
Below are words that I think are misused regularly. I have a pretty good idea how to use most of them but at the end there are a few that I'm embarrassed to say, I need your help and suggestions how to use them.
for four
For his own good, please get me four beers
then than
It was easier than the way I did it before
I am going to the store and then to get my nails done
to too two
If you want to, we can do it together
Is she going too
There were two books on the shelf
access excess
I have access to the computer
There is an excess of office supplies
If I've misused any of the above, please tell me. I'm asking for help so I won't be offended if you say I am wrong
Now here are the ones I'm stumped on:
hung hang hanged
lie lay laying
empathy sympathy
die dying
prove proved proven
accept except
I accept your apologyIf you know of other words that are misused, please add them to the post

The understanding of have of these two words is:
too is used when you mean also
and
to is used when you are going to the store.

Hi Wix. I had a wannabee drill sergeant for my high school english classes and I hated every minute of it.

looking at guys, writing their name along with the word Mrs.-----All the girls did that, write ladies?

I am a published writer, and I find the only way I can get all th words right the first time is if I write the way I talk. My books have to be edited over and over again, unless the character has a dialect like mine.

Well what about tutu? I'm going to the store to get a tutu, you can come too. This way, like you, I'll have two tutu's too. To tutu or not to tutu that is the question. I too have a horn to toot when I wear my tutu. This is just too much. To toot while wearing a tutu is too too much tooting.

Hi Wendy...I think Robbie is also a writer and I'm hoping he can set me straight.
I'm hoping someone will suggest how to use the ones I'm stuck on. Do you lay the book down or do you lie it down. Was he lieing to you or was he lying to you.

Try splitting infinitives, conjugations and past participles in three languages???!!!
The English language is a rich and ambiguous language. Many of what you use as an example is common and as a teacher of English as a foreign language, it is hard for non native speakers to understand the language.
Good thread Snuggs, I love talking about languages.
