🕒 The 'Past' Logic

Look at how the story talks about things that already happened. It uses a simple change to the end of the word.

The Pattern: Adding -ED

  • work → worked
  • play → played

The Rule: If you want to say something happened yesterday or last year, add -ed to the action word.

The 'Rule Breakers' (Irregular) Some words don't follow the -ed rule. You must memorize these:

  • say → said
  • go → went
  • tell → told
  • lie → lied (This one follows the rule, but the 'ie' changes to 'y' first!)

Quick Example Map:

  • Present: He works in sports. \rightarrow Happening now.
  • Past: He worked in sports. \rightarrow Finished in the past.
