⚾ Action Words in the Past

When we talk about things that already happened (like the 2026 draft), we change the action words.

The Pattern:

  • Pick → Picked
  • Choose → Chose

How to use them:

  • They picked players. (The action is finished).
  • They chose two catchers. (This happened in the past).

Quick Note: Most words just add -ed (Pick → Picked), but some words change completely (Choose → Chose). This is how you move from A1 to A2 English!

Example from text: "The Colorado Rockies picked five players... They chose two catchers."
