Error: Correct usage is "has drunk."

Study the material at http://www.ryerson.ca/learningsucces...ces/unit13.pdf
and find out why the phrase "has drank" identifies you as someone who
has not learned the difference between the past participle and the
past tense of irregular verbs.

Problem: Confusing the past tense with the past participle of
irregular verbs.

Verbs to watch for:

I saw the video three times. [NOT I seen the video . . .]

Someone has drunk all the chocolate milk. [NOT Someone has drank . . .]
