🕒 The 'Past' Pattern

Look at how the story tells us things that already happened. To talk about the past, we often add -ed to the end of the action word.

Examples from the story:

  • arrest \rightarrow arrested
  • plan \rightarrow planned*
  • want \rightarrow wanted

*Note: Some words are 'rebels' and change completely. We don't say 'telled'; we say told. We don't say 'buyed'; we say bought.
