⚽ The 'Past' Story
When we talk about things that already happened, we often add -ed to the action word.
Examples from the text:
- play played
- talk talked
The 'Rebels' (Words that change completely): Some words don't follow the -ed rule. You just have to memorize them:
- leave left
- lose lost
💡 Quick Tip: 'Strong' vs 'Strong Enough'
- Strong: You have power. (Example: Paraguay is strong).
- Strong enough: You have the correct amount of power to win. (Example: The players are not strong enough).
Pattern: [Adjective] + enough used to say if something is 'sufficient'.
