⚾ The 'Doing' Word

Look at these words from the story:

  • Played
  • Won
  • Pitched
  • Hit

The Secret: These all describe things that happened in the past.

Most of the time, we just add -ed to the end: Play →\rightarrow Played Pitch →\rightarrow Pitched

The Tricky Part: Some words are rebels. They change completely! Win →\rightarrow Won Hit →\rightarrow Hit (stays the same!)
