Take a look at the sentence again:
My cat Buster leapt onto the wobbly table
to escape Oreo, the dog, who ran in tight
circles, trying to bite Buster's tail, which hanged
over the side.
The third verb, hanged, is incorrect. This sentence requires the simple past. Hung is the right form. Hanged means to execute someone by suspending that person with a rope tied around his or her neck.
| Verb | Simple Present | Simple Past | Past Participle |
| hang | hang(s) | hung | hung |
Leapt, the verb you chose, is perfectly correct. Before you continue, review the rules for irregular verbs.
