⚡ The "Past Story" Pattern

When we talk about things that already happened (like a football game), we often change the end of the word.

The Magic -ed Ending Most words just add -ed to show the past:

  • Play → Played
  • Change → Changed
  • Finish → Finished

The Rule Breakers (Irregulars) Some words are rebels. They change completely. You must memorize these:

  • Is → Was
  • Win → Won
  • Feel → Felt
  • Leave → Left

How to say "No" in the past This is the easiest part. No matter if the word is a rebel or not, just use did not + the normal word:

  • Wrong: He did not won (❌)
  • Right: He did not win (✅)
  • Right: The team did not play well (✅)
