🕒 Talking about the past

Look at how the story changes verbs to show things already happened:

  • Die →\rightarrow Died
  • Drive →\rightarrow Drove
  • Break →\rightarrow Broke
  • Win →\rightarrow Won
  • Wear →\rightarrow Wore

Quick Tip: Most English words just add -ed (like died), but some special words change completely (like win →\rightarrow won). These are the 'rule-breakers'.

Examples from the text:

  • "Portugal won the game" (Happened in the past)
  • "Diogo drove a fast car" (Happened in the past)
