Learning

💡 THE "ACTION" PATTERN

Look at how we describe things that happened in the past. We just add -ed to the end of the word. This is the easiest way to tell a story.

Examples from the text:

  • Like →\rightarrow Liked
  • Talk →\rightarrow Talked
  • Share →\rightarrow Shared

⚠️ THE "BENDING" RULES

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

  • Say →\rightarrow Said (Not "Sayed")
  • Feel →\rightarrow Felt (Not "Feeled")
  • Write →\rightarrow Wrote (Not "Writed")

🛠️ QUICK TIP: NEGATIVES

When we want to say someone did NOT do something, we use did not + the normal word. We don't add -ed here!

extWrong:She did not liked it. ext{Wrong: } \text{She did not liked it.} extRight:She did not like it. ext{Right: } \text{She did not like it.}
