🏆 Action Words in the Past

In this story, we see things that already happened. To tell a story about yesterday or last week, we change the action word.

The Change:

  • Win (now) → Won (past)
  • Beat (now/past) → Beat (stays the same!)
  • Hit (now/past) → Hit (stays the same!)
  • Get (now) → Got (past)
  • Play (now) → Played (past)

💡 Simple Pattern: Most words just need an -ed at the end (like play \rightarrow played). But some are 'rule-breakers' (like win \rightarrow won).

Examples from the text:

  • "The team won many games."
  • "Landyn Scherer played very well."
  • "Kennedy Strider got 100 strikeouts."
