🛠️ The "Action Word" Trick
Look at how the story talks about the past. It uses a simple pattern to show things that already happened.
Pattern: Just add -ed
- Help Helped
- Break Broke (Special case!)
- Follow Followed
Wait! What about "Not"? When we say something did NOT happen, we use a helper word: did not.
- The judge did not follow the rules.
- The public could not watch.
A2 Tip: When you see "did not," the action word goes back to its normal form. ❌ did not followed ✅ did not follow
