⚾️ Talking about the Past

When we talk about things that already happened (like a baseball game), we often change the action word by adding -ed.

Look at these examples from the text:

  • play → played
  • stop → stopped
  • score → scored

Wait! Some words are rebels. They don't follow the -ed rule. We call these 'irregular.'

  • win → won
