Can you please talk about the past tense of the verb "SWING"?
 
Could you be a bit more specific, please?

Well, the dictionary notes that "swung" is the past tense, but also that "swang" is used in some dialects.

I'm sure I have said "swang" at times, but would only write "swung" in any formal writing.
 
My dictionary says that "swang" is part of a dialect.
 
NOT A TEACHER.

Hello. I don't know exactly, but I think, that "swung" sounds in middle part of GB, but "swang" sounds in North part of GB. I think every language has a words like this.
But you must write "swung", if you write "swang" I think, that your teacher or englishman will think , that you're illiterate.

Nickle.
 
I'm from the north of England and swang is not used here.

But you should write "swung". If you write "swang" I think that your teacher or BE speakers will think that you're illiterate.
