Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.
Meat is hung, but men are hanged.

You hung it? Why did you hang it?
But
You have ___ it? Why have you ____ it?
I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
