🕵️ The 'Who did what' Pattern

In this story, we see a very simple way to talk about the past. We take a word and add -ed to the end.

The Pattern:

  • Look →\rightarrow Looked
  • Accuse →\rightarrow Accused
  • Want →\rightarrow Wanted

💡 How to use it

If it happened yesterday or in the past, use the -ed ending.

Examples from the text:

  • "He is accused..." (Someone said he did it).
  • "He wanted to kill..." (He had the idea before).

⚠️ One Big Surprise

Some words are 'rebels' and do not follow the -ed rule. These are called irregular words.

Spot the rebels:

  • See →\rightarrow Saw (NOT seed)
  • Find →\rightarrow Found (NOT finded)
  • Tell →\rightarrow Told (NOT telled)
