✈️ Action Words: The 'Past' Secret

To tell a story, we change the end of the word. Look at these pairs from the text:

  • Leave (now) \rightarrow Left (before)
  • Die (now) \rightarrow Died (before)
  • Land (now) \rightarrow Landed (before)
  • Slide (now) \rightarrow Slid (before)
  • Close (now) \rightarrow Closed (before)

The Rule: Most words just need a -ed at the end (land \rightarrow landed). Some are 'rebels' and change completely (leave \rightarrow left).
