⚡ The "Past Action" Pattern

In this story, everything happened yesterday. To talk about the past in English, we usually add -ed to the action word.

Look at these changes:

  • Play \rightarrow Played
  • Start \rightarrow Started
  • Score \rightarrow Scored*

Wait! Some words are rebels. Some words change completely. They don't use -ed. These are called 'irregular'.

  • Win \rightarrow Won
  • Feel \rightarrow Felt
  • Give \rightarrow Gave

Quick Rule for A2: If you see -ed, the action is finished. If you see Won or Felt, it is also finished, but the word is just special.
