Learning

πŸ•’ The "Past Time" Secret

To tell a story about things that already happened, we often add -ed to the action word.

Look at these examples from the text:

  • Arrested
  • Worked
  • Stopped

How it works: Now β†’ Walk Yesterday β†’ Walked

Wait! Some words are rebels. Some words change completely instead of adding -ed. These are 'irregular'.

  • Give β†’\rightarrow Gave
  • Do β†’\rightarrow Did
  • Find β†’\rightarrow Found

Quick Guide: If you see -ed, the action is finished. If the word changes shape (like give to gave), it is still finished, but it follows its own special rule.
