From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So far my only quarrels with Wikipedia pages I have come across have been grammar-focused. I found a good source on the web for the passive voice in English at [1]. It has been stated that Americans are the only English speakers in the world who use the past tense in place of the past participle. Swim, swam, swum. Present, past, past participle. And the passive voice is the structure that we most confuse: "The lake is swum in", as opposed to the "The lake is swam in". We should at least try to use good grammar when writing, even if we insist on informally speaking. Ogobeone (talk) 16:50, 30 September 2017 (UTC)ogobeone
