Dr Arvind Mayaram, the former Finance Secretary, shared a video on Twitter that has received over 23,000 views.
As stated in the tweet, “Wicked Wit! When the English Teacher is on vacation and the Principal asks the Maths Teacher to take the English class!”
As shown in the video, the man writes on a whiteboard, “If grew is grown, then flew =?” “Look at what a mathematician will do.” He continues to represent past participle of flew and cross multiplies with variable “y,” The formula “y X Grew = flew X GREW” is found.
He gradually gets to the conclusion that “y = flown.” Then he giggled and said, “Therefore, the past particle of flew has flown.”.
