On his horn he blew,
Then out the window he flew.

:wink:
 
so would you say "I flew from London to Dublin last week"?

Yes! And then I would say "I flew from Dublin to London this week!" :)

It's "flew".

Flew. :shock:
 
"Flew" is the most correct, "Flied" sounds really strange, and Flowed is the past participle of Flow e.g. The water flowed

"Flown" is a word I would use to describe something flying, e.g. "The plane has flown away", whilst "flew" is what I would use to say that I had taken part in the flying, e.g. "We flew to Mallorca at 5 PM".
