🕒 THE TIME-TRAVEL RULE

Look at these words from the text:

  • Played
  • Won

These aren't normal words. They are Past Action words. We use them to talk about things that are finished.

How it works: Most words just add -ed to the end to move to the past: Play →\rightarrow Played

The Tricksters: Some words change completely. You just have to memorize them: Win →\rightarrow Won

Simple Examples for You:

  • Today I play. →\rightarrow Yesterday I played.
  • Today I win. →\rightarrow Yesterday I won.

Quick Tip: If you see -ed, the action is over! 🛑
