THE 'PAST' STORY
When we talk about things that already happened, we often add -ed to the action word.
- arrest arrested
- hurt hurt (this one stays the same!)
- neglect neglected
Wait, what about 'be'? In this story, we don't use "is" or "are" because the events are over. We use:
- Were (for many people): "The children were very sick."
- Was (for one person): "The child was injured."
