🛑 THE "ACTION" PATTERN
Look at how we talk about things that happened in the past. We change the word to show the time is over.
The Change List
- happen happened
- die died
- hit hit (stays the same!)
- run ran
- take took
Simple Rule To tell a story about yesterday or last week, most words get an -ed at the end. But some "rebel" words change completely (like run becoming ran).
