🚨 Action Words (Past Tense)

When we tell a story about things that already happened, we change the verb. Look at these words from the news:

  • Stop \rightarrow Stopped
  • Buy \rightarrow Bought
  • Send \rightarrow Sent
  • Find \rightarrow Found

💡 Simple Rule

Most words just need -ed at the end (like stop). But some are "special" and change completely (like buy \rightarrow bought).

Examples from the text:

  • "Police stopped people..."
  • "Anthony bought guns..."
  • "Police found seven pistols."
