Learning

🕒 Talking about the Past

To tell a story about something that already happened, we often change the action word (verb). Look at these examples from the text:

  • Play → Played
  • Win → Won
  • Hit → Hit (This one stays the same!)

The Secret Pattern: Most of the time, just add -ed to the end of the word to move it to the past.

Example: "Oregon played very well."
