⏱️ TIME & ACTION

Look at how we describe things that happened in the past. We just add -ed to the action word.

  • Start → Started
  • Hurt → Hurt (This one is special! It does not change)

The 'Time' Pattern: When we see a year (like 2017) or a phrase like for many years, we use these past-action words.
