⚡ The "Past Action" Pattern

To tell a story about a game, we use Past Tense. Look at how these words change from the present to the past:

  • Win \rightarrow Won
  • Start \rightarrow Started
  • Score \rightarrow Scored
  • Make \rightarrow Made

How to use it: If the action is finished (like a game that ended), add -ed to most words. Some words are special and change completely (like win becoming won).

Examples from the text:

  • "The game started fast."
  • "The Cowboys won."
  • "Two players got hurt."
