🕒 Talking about the Past

When we tell a story about something that already happened (like a football game), we change the action words.

Look at these changes from the text:

  • Beat → Beat (stays the same!)
  • Play → Played
  • Score → Scored
  • Make → Made
  • Lose → Lost
  • Lead → Led
  • Try → Tried
  • Throw → Threw
  • Go → Went

The 'Magic' Rule: Most words just need an -ed at the end (Play → Played). But some words are 'rebels' and change completely (Go → Went).

How to use it:

  • Today: I play football.
  • Yesterday: I played football. \rightarrow (Standard)
  • Today: I go to the stadium.
  • Yesterday: I went to the stadium. \rightarrow (Rebel)
