πŸ•°οΈ Talking about the Past

When we talk about things that happened before, we often use did or had. Look at how the story changes from now to then:

The 'Now' (Present)

  • He eats healthy food.
  • People are worried.

The 'Then' (Past)

  • He had diabetes.
  • He did not walk.

πŸ’‘ Quick Rule: The Action Word Change

Most words just get an -ed at the end to show they are finished:

  • Walk β†’\rightarrow Walked
  • Look β†’\rightarrow Looked

But some words are 'rebels' and change completely:

  • Have β†’\rightarrow Had
  • Is β†’\rightarrow Was

Example from the text: "Randy Jackson was on the show." β†’\rightarrow (He is not on that show right now, it happened in the past).
