Common mistakes
— 01
Incorrect Forms
Mistake. Assuming that the past simple and past participle forms of 'yeet' follow a regular verb structure, leading to incorrect forms such as 'yeeted' for both past simple and past participle. Correct Approach. For many slang or nonstandard verbs, the community that uses them often decides their past forms through common usage rather than following standard conjugation rules. For instance, while some might use 'yeeted' as both the past simple and past participle forms, others might prefer 'yote' as the past simple form, reflecting an irregular verb pattern similar to 'speak' and 'spoke.' Always check how these forms are used in the community or sources where the slang originates.

Using the Same Form
Mistake. Applying the same form for both the past simple and past participle without confirming if that's accepted practice. For example, using 'yeeted' for both when the community might use 'yeeted' for past simple and 'yoten' for past participle. Correct Approach. Verify the accepted past simple and past participle forms among speakers or in written sources. Slang and nonstandard verbs can have unique and unexpected variations, unlike regular verbs.

Misapplying Tense in Sentences
Mistake. Confusing when to use the past simple versus the past participle form, leading to grammatical errors in sentence construction. For example, saying 'I have yeet it yesterday' instead of 'I yeeted it yesterday' (past simple for a completed action in the past) or 'I have yeeted it' (past participle with 'have' for actions affecting the present). Correct Approach. Use the past simple (e.g., 'yeeted') for actions completed at a specific time in the past. Use the past participle (e.g., 'yeeted' or another accepted form) with auxiliary verbs like 'have' to form perfect tenses, indicating actions that have relevance to the present or were completed at an unspecified time in the past.
