Grammar Puzzles Solved (18): Which is correct: “He has drank all the water” or “He has drunk all the water”? by ndxx5 · Published April 6, 2025 · Updated May 25, 2025 ✅ Correct Answer: “He has drunk all the water.” This is a classic example of confusion between past tense and past participle forms of irregular verbs—especially the verb “drink.” Drink is an irregular verb, meaning it doesn’t follow the regular “-ed” pattern in past tense or past participle forms. Present: drink Past: drank Past Participle: drunk Examples: Present: I drink water every morning. Past: Yesterday, I drank a whole bottle. Past Participle: I have drunk too much coffee today. Why is “He has drank all the water” wrong? Because “has” requires the past participle form of the verb, not the past tense. ✅ Correct: “He has drunk” (present perfect tense) ❌ Incorrect: “He has drank” (wrong use of past tense with “has”) Key Tip: When you use “has,” “have,” or “had,” always pair them with the past participle, not the simple past. | Verb | Past Tense | Past Participle | |——|————|——————| | drink | drank | drunk | | sing | sang | sung | | begin | began | begun | 📝 Final Answer: “He has drunk all the water” is correct because “drunk” is the past participle used with “has.”
