⚽️ The 'Past' Pattern

Look at how the story tells us what happened. Most words end in -ed. This is the easiest way to talk about yesterday.

  • use → used
  • play → played

⚠️ The Rule Breakers

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

  • Win → Won
  • Get → Got

💡 Word Swap: 'Fewer'

When we count people or things (like fans or players), we use fewer, not 'less'.

Example:

  • Fewer fans (Correct ✅)
  • Less fans (Incorrect ❌)
