⚡ The 'Past Action' Pattern

Look at these words from the story:

  • Beat → beat
  • Won → win
  • Scored → score
  • Made → make
  • Hit → hit
  • Helped → help

The Simple Secret: To talk about things that already happened, we often just add -ed to the end of the word.

Example: Help \rightarrow Helped

The Tricky Ones (Change Shape): Some words are rebels. They don't use -ed; they change their whole look!

  • Win \rightarrow Won
  • Make \rightarrow Made

Quick Guide for A2: If you want to tell a story about yesterday, check if your action word is in its 'past' form.

Right: "The Mets made mistakes." \checkmark Wrong: "The Mets make mistakes." (This sounds like they do it every single day, not just in this game).
