Vocabulary Learning
🕒 The 'Past' Pattern
Look at how we talk about things that already happened. In this story, we use a simple rule: Word + ed.
- Stop → Stopped
- Change → Changed
Wait! Some words are 'rebels' and change completely:
- Break Broke
🚫 Saying 'No' in the Past
To say something did not happen, we use: did not + [Normal Word].
- Example: "It did not work.
(Notice: We don't say 'did not worked'. Once you use 'did', the verb goes back to its normal form!)
