πŸ’‘ The 'Past Action' Pattern

In this story, we see many words ending in -ed. This is how we talk about things that already happened.

How it works: Word β†’\rightarrow Add -ed β†’\rightarrow Past

  • Start β†’\rightarrow Started
  • Look β†’\rightarrow Looked
  • Stop β†’\rightarrow Stopped

Wait! Some words are 'Rebels' Some words do not follow the -ed rule. You must memorize them:

  • Say β†’\rightarrow Said
  • Make β†’\rightarrow Made
  • Be (is/are) β†’\rightarrow Was/Were

Real Examples from the text:

  • "The fight started in January." (Regular)
  • "Justin Baldoni said this was not true." (Rebel)
  • "Their lawyers made $60 million." (Rebel)
