⚡ The 'Past Action' Pattern

Look at these words from the story: died, hit, landed, put.

When we talk about things that are finished, we usually add -ed to the end of the word. This is the easiest way to tell a story in English.

  • Land → Landed
  • Check → Checked

⚠️ The Rule Breakers Some words are 'rebels.' They change completely instead of adding -ed. You just have to memorize these:

  • Die → Died (Regular)
  • Hit → Hit (Stays the same!)
  • Put → Put (Stays the same!)
  • Go → Went (Changes totally!)

💡 Quick Logic If you see -ed, the action is in the past. If you see went, the action is also in the past.

Example: "Police went on the plane" \rightarrow They are not there now; it happened before.
