⚡ The 'Past' Pattern

Look at these words from the story:

  • Played
  • Lost
  • Failed
  • Used
  • Wanted

These are things that already happened. To talk about yesterday or last year, we often add -ed to the end of the action word.

Example: Play \rightarrow Played Want \rightarrow Wanted


🛑 Saying 'No' in the Past

When we want to say something did not happen, we use a special helper: did not.

  • Texas did not score.

Rule: When you use "did not," the action word goes back to its normal, present form.

did not scored \rightarrowdid not score


💡 Quick Tip: 'Used to'

The story says: "Five players... used to play for Texas."

Use "used to" for things that were true a long time ago, but are not true now.

  • I used to live in Miami \rightarrow Now I live in Texas.
