* HANG - Hang has two different meanings. The first is'to attach (or hang) something in a high position'(e.g. on the wall or on a hook). In this case we use the above verbs Hang-Hung-Hung.
BUT when Hang means 'to kill someone by putting a ropearound someone's neck and leaving them in a high positionwithout any support', we use different verbs:Hang-Hanged-hanged. This verb is typical of publicexecutions in the past. (e.g. They hanged him in the main square.)
** LIE - Lie has two meanings. When it means 'to put yourbody in a horizontal position' (normally on a bed) it uses the Lie-Lay-Lain verbs.
BUT it is regular Lie-Lied-Lied when it has the other meaning of 'not to say the truth'.
*** READ - Even though they are written the same, the pronunciation is different in the Past Tense and Past Participle form.
