🕒 The 'Past' Story

When we tell a story about things that already happened, we often change the action word (verb). Look at these changes from the text:

  • Write \rightarrow Wrote
  • Is/Are \rightarrow Was/Were
  • Work \rightarrow Worked
  • Make \rightarrow Made
  • Stop \rightarrow Stopped
  • Call \rightarrow Called

Quick Rule: Most words just need an -ed at the end to move to the past. But some words are 'rebels' and change completely (like write becoming wrote).

Real Example:

  • Now: She is a reporter.
  • Past: She was a reporter.
