🗝️ The 'Past' Pattern

In this story, we see how to talk about things that already happened. Notice these words:

told (from tell) $\rightarrow$ The government told the app...
had (from have) $\rightarrow$ The movie had different names...
tried (from try) $\rightarrow$ The filmmakers tried to go...
disappeared (from disappear) $\rightarrow$ He disappeared in 1995.

Quick Rule: To move a basic action into the past, we often just add -ed to the end. If the word is special (like tell or have), it changes completely.

🧱 Building Sentences with 'Too'

Look at this phrase: "too many problems."

When we use too, it means "more than we want" or "more than is okay."

Too many $\rightarrow$ Used for things we can count (problems, people, movies).
Too much $\rightarrow$ Used for things we cannot count (water, time, noise).

💡 Word Swap: 'Still' vs 'Now'

Now = At this moment $\rightarrow$ Now, people are watching...
