The past tense form of the word 'cling' is 'clung'. Just like 'sing' becomes 'sung' in the past tense, 'cling' follows a similar pattern and becomes 'clung'. This is one of those tricky irregular verbs in English that doesn't follow the regular '-ed' ending for past tense. Instead, it changes its inner vowel sound, showing a linguistic phenomenon called "vowel mutation" or "ablaut". Isn't the English language fascinating with its unpredictable nature?
