🕰️ Talking about the Past

Look at how the story describes things that already happened. Most of the time, we just add -ed to the word.

  • play \rightarrow played
  • celebrate \rightarrow celebrated
  • work \rightarrow worked
  • finish \rightarrow finished

⚠️ The 'Rule Breakers'

Some words don't follow the -ed rule. You just have to memorize these:

  • is/am/are \rightarrow was/were (Example: The stage was simple. People were there.)

  • do \rightarrow did (Example: Jay-Z did more than music.)
