⚡️ ACTION WORDS (Past vs. Present)

In this story, we see a big difference between things happening now and things that already happened.

1. The 'Right Now' (Present) We use these words to describe a general fact or a current feeling:

  • Are →\rightarrow They are angry.
  • Get →\rightarrow Players get angry.

2. The 'Finished' (Past) To talk about the game that already ended, we add -ed to the end of the word:

  • Disagree →\rightarrow Disagreed

⚠️ THE TRICKY ONE Some words change completely. They don't follow the -ed rule:
