💡 The 'Past' Trick

Look at how the story talks about things that already happened. We add -ed to the end of the action word.

  • join → joined
  • want → wanted
  • liked

Wait! Some words are rebels. They don't follow the -ed rule. You just have to memorize them:

  • leave → left
  • is → was
  • see → saw

🛠️ Building Sentences

To say someone did not do something, use this simple formula: Did not + Action (Normal form)

Example: He did not want to use his old number.

(Notice we don't say "did not wanted". The "did" already tells us it is the past!)
