🕒 Timing the Past

Look at how we say things that already happened:

  • happened (It is finished)
  • went (Past of 'go')

The Pattern When talking about a specific time (like Wednesday or 1:00 a.m.), we change the action word to its past form.

Simple Examples

  • Now: I go → Then: I went
  • Now: It happens → Then: It happened
