⚡ The 'Past Story' Secret

When we talk about things that already happened (like a cricket game), we change the action word. Look at these changes from the text:

  • Play \text{→} Played
  • Make \text{→} Made
  • Score \text{→} Scored
  • Feel \text{→} Felt

Why this matters for A2: Most English words just need -ed at the end to move from 'now' to 'yesterday'.

The 'Odd' Ones: Some words are rebels and change completely.

  • Example: Make becomes Made.

Quick Guide:

  • I play (Now) \text{→} I played (Then)
  • He feels (Now) \text{→} He felt (Then)
