🕒 The 'Past' Pattern

Look at these words from the text:

  • worked
  • attacked
  • watched

The Secret: To talk about things that finished in the past, we often just add -ed to the end of the action word.

Examples from the story:

  • Work \rightarrow worked
  • Attack \rightarrow attacked
  • Watch \rightarrow watched

⚖️ Saying 'No'

In the text, we see: "he did not do these things."

When we want to say something did not happen in the past, we use this simple formula: Did not + Action Word (Normal form)

Did not+extdo=extdidnotdo\text{Did not} + ext{do} = ext{did not do}
