371. Hanged and Hung

(X) No-one has been hung in Britain since 1964.
(O) No-one has been hanged in Britain since 1964.

(b) Hung
(X) We hanged the picture on the wall.
(O) We hung the picture on the wall.

When the reference is to killing a person or animal by hanging, we use the form hanged.
In other cases, the form is hung. 
The principal parts of the two verbs are: "hang, hanged, hanged", and "hang, hung, hung".

(a) Wear
(X) Kathy always puts on black shoes.
(O) Kathy always wears black shoes.

(b) Put on

(O) I put on my clothes in the morning.

Wear means to have upon the body as a garment or as an ornament.
To put on denotes a simple act.

Note: To dress has nearly the same meaning as to put on, but the object of dress is a person and not a thing.
He dressed himself and went out. // The mother dressed her baby.

(X) John tore up his coat on a nail.
(O) John tore his coat on a nail.

burn up, drink up, dry up, cut up eat up, shut up, use up
