⚡ The 'Action' Pattern

Look at how we talk about things that happened in the past. We just add -ed to the end of the word to show it is finished.

The Magic Rule: Word + ed →\rightarrow Past Action

Examples from the story:

  • Help →\rightarrow Helped
  • Scared →\rightarrow Scared
  • Kidnap →\rightarrow Kidnapped

💡 The 'No' Action (Negative)

When someone did not do something, we use did not + the normal word. We do not add -ed here.

❌ He did not stopped them. (Wrong) ✅ He did not stop them. (Correct)

Quick Comparison:

  • Positive: He helped.
  • Negative: He did not help.
