Look at these changes:

  • Want \rightarrow Wanted*

  • Finish \rightarrow Finished*

The Secret: To talk about things that are already done, we often just add -ed to the end of the word.


🧊 Special Words (The Odd Ones)

Some words are rebels. They don't follow the -ed rule.

  • Example: Play becomes Played (Normal)
  • Example: Leave becomes Left (Rebel!)

Quick Tip: When you see a word like 'Left', it means the person is gone. The action is finished.


🎯 Who does what?

  • Score goals \rightarrow Attackers
  • Protect the goal \rightarrow Defenders
