πŸ•’ The 'Past Time' Trick

Look at how the story talks about things that already happened. We change the action word to show it is finished.

The Rule: Just add -ed to the end of the word.

Examples from the text:

  • Want β†’\rightarrow Wanted*
  • Try β†’\rightarrow Tried*
  • Learn β†’\rightarrow Learned*

Wait! Some words are rebels: Some words don't follow the -ed rule. You just have to remember them:

  • Get β†’\rightarrow Got*
  • Feel β†’\rightarrow Felt*

Quick Guide for A2: Use these 'finished' words when you see dates like 2019, 2022, or 2025.
