The 'Action' Words (Past Tense)
To talk about things that already happened, we change the end of the word. Look at how these words move from Now → Then:
- Drive → Drove
- Hit → Hit (Stayed the same!)
- Lie → Lied
- Work → Worked
- Save → Saved
Quick Logic: Most words just need a -ed at the end to show the story is over. Some special words, like drive, change their middle sounds completely.
Example from the text: "She worked fast and saved people." (This means she is not doing it right now; she did it in the past.)
