⚡ The 'Past Action' Pattern

In this story, we see many words ending in -ed. This is how we talk about things that already happened.

Look at these changes:

  • Promise → Promised
  • Use → Used
  • Hire → Hired
  • Reject → Rejected

💡 How to use it:

To tell a story about the past, just add -ed to the action word.

Example: "She promised fast results" means it happened before. Now, it is over.

⚠️ One Special Case

Some words change completely. They don't use -ed:

  • Write → Wrote (Not writed)
  • Give → Gave (Not gived)

Quick Summary: Action + ed = Past Time → Lozano lied.
