Ate Vs. Eaten. My son says “have you ate” and I’m forever correcting him and saying it’s “have you eaten?”. Today he’s replied that ‘ate’ is past tense, which is true, obviously. I said well yes, but it’s wrong and he asked why? I had to admit that I don’t know!
Have you ate sounds hideous to me, it can’t be correct. Please tell me why… or maybe I’m wrong 😑
