⚡ The 'Past' Pattern
Look at how the text talks about things that already happened. We use a special form of the word to show it is over.
The Rule: Word + -ed = Happened before.
Examples from the text:
- Fire → Fired
- Play → Played
Be Careful! Some words are 'rebels' and change completely. They don't use -ed:
- Win → Won
- Do → Did
- Make → Made
Quick Guide:
- They did not win. (Negative past)
- They made mistakes. (Positive past)
