⚡ THE 'ACTION' PATTERN

Look at how we describe things that happened in the past. We just change the end of the word.

The Change:

  • Visit → Visited
  • Punish → Punished
  • Arrest → Arrested

The Rule: When you see -ed, the action is finished. It is over.


🚩 SPECIAL WORDS (No -ed)

Some words are 'rebels' and change completely:

  • Go → Went
  • Say → Said
  • Do → Did

Examples from the story:

  • She went to the home.
  • The woman said she loves him.
  • She did not listen.
