🕒 The 'Past' Switch

To tell a story about yesterday or last week, we change the action word. Look at how the article changes these words:

  • Hit \rightarrow Hit (Stayed the same!)
  • Use \rightarrow Used
  • Fight \rightarrow Fought
  • Kill \rightarrow Killed
  • Catch \rightarrow Caught
  • Say \rightarrow Said

The Secret Rule: Most words just need a -ed at the end to move to the past. But some are 'rebels' and change completely (like fight becoming fought).
