Vocabulary Learning

🕒 The 'Past' Secret

Look at how the story talks about old times. We use -ed to show things that already happened.

  • Start → Started
  • Look → Looked

The Magic Word: DID NOT When we say 'no' in the past, we don't use -ed. We use did not + the simple word.

Did not started (Wrong!) ✅ Did not want (Right!) ✅ Did not follow (Right!)
