Hi Moderaor;

I have just registered on this Site. Hope it helps me to polish my English Skills both in writing and Speaking.

Now, I would like to ask you about usage of very common words in day to day life :

1) Usage of KNOW & KNEW

2) Usage of LIVE & STAY

3) Usage of GAVE & GIVEN

4) Usage of WENT & GONE

Will post you more in coming days

hope to get a prompt reply
Thank you

Hello Dinesh,
Except for Live and Stay, all of your pairs are different tenses of the same verb.

I know this today, I knew that yesterday.
I gave her earrings as a gift , not knowing that you had given her the same thing.
I went to the store at three. By the time I got home, Peter had gone to the gym.

Have you used a dictionary for "Live" and "Stay"? Can you show a sentence in which you're not sure which one to use?
