    This might be one of those edge cases like hanged vs hung where sank would imply they sank and sinked implies sinking someone else.

    It was the only part of English class I struggled with, but if I remember right, we’re dealing with the difference between active and passive objects in a sentence. Someone smarter can correct me if I’m wrong.
