🕒 The 'Past' Secret

Look at these words from the story: beat, played, got, scored, was, made, ran, said, hit, won.

To tell a story about yesterday or last year, we change the action word. Most are easy, but some are 'rebels'.

The Regulars (just add -ed):

  • play → played
  • score → scored

The Rebels (they change completely):

  • win → won
  • run → ran
  • say → said
  • get → got
  • is/am → was

Quick Tip for A2: If you see -ed, it's usually a finished action. If the word looks totally different (like win becoming won), it's a rebel word you just need to memorize!
