⏳ The "Finished" Action

In this story, everything already happened. To talk about the past, we usually add -ed to the action word.

Look at these changes:

  • Start → Started
  • Try → Tried
  • Trade → Traded
  • Change → Changed
  • Hire → Hired

The Special Case: Some words are "rebels" and change completely. They don't use -ed.

  • Win → Won
  • Go → Did not go (We use 'did not' + the normal word for negatives)

Quick Guide: Action now →\rightarrow Action then

  • I work →\rightarrow I worked
