💡 The 'Action-Past' Pattern

Look at how we talk about things that already happened. We just add -ed to the end of the word.

  • Liked →\rightarrow (He liked the song)
  • Studyed →\rightarrow (He studied hard)
  • Called →\rightarrow (It is called a charity)

Wait! Some words are rebels. They don't use -ed. They change completely:

  • Sing →\rightarrow Sang
  • Win →\rightarrow Won
  • Become →\rightarrow Became

🚩 Who is who? (People vs. Things)

In English, we use different words to point at people and companies:

  • The mascot →\rightarrow He/She (The person in the suit)
  • McDonald's →\rightarrow It/They (The big company)
  • The Knights →\rightarrow They (The team of players)
