Talking about the Past

In this story, we see a pattern for talking about things that already happened. To do this, we often add -ed to the end of the action word.

Examples from the text:

  • Play → Played
  • Score → Scored
  • Fall → Fell (This one is special! It changes completely)

How to use it: When you want to tell a story about yesterday or last week, use these forms:

  • "He played well" \rightarrow He did a good job in the past.
  • "They scored" \rightarrow They got points before now.

Quick Tip: Most words just need -ed, but some common words like "fall" \rightarrow "fell" are irregular. You just have to memorize those few!
