Verb "sit" irregular form
|
|
Hello, I need your help because I am a little confused. As far as I know the three forms of the verb "sit" are sit - sat - sat, but I have found in many places used as "sit - sit - sit". Are both variants correct or the latter is just a mistake? Thank you very much.�

I agree with douglas it is : sit-sat-sat.
could they have mistaken it with set-set-set ? |

It �s possible someone somehow thought that it �s the same type of verb as e.g. put, put, put; hit, hit, hit; etc. Unfortunately no :) so it �s sit, sat, sat
I think the past participle isn �t too common because it would be more common to hear /say: I �ve been sitting there for the whole course. Not: I �ve sat there ....

It depends on the situation, lalla99. I �ve never sat in the balcony in that theater. Have you ever sat on Santa �s lap? He has sat in the principal �s office more times than he cares to remember. Bruce |
