The past tense of the word 'stink' is 'stank'. It's one of those quirky irregular verbs in English. Unlike most verbs that simply add an '-ed' at the end for their past tense, 'stink' switches things up and becomes 'stank'. So, you can say "The garbage stank badly yesterday." Language is like a river, it's always moving and changing, and these irregular verbs are like the unexpected bends and rapids we meet along the way. Isn't it fascinating how language keeps us on our toes?
