The Pattern: Change the action word to show it already happened.

  • Win \rightarrow Won (She won a home)
  • Tell \rightarrow Told (Husband told her)
  • Want \rightarrow Wanted (She wanted a home)

Quick Rule: Most words just need an -ed at the end (Want \rightarrow Wanted). Some words are 'rebels' and change completely (Win \rightarrow Won).
