The "Past Story" Pattern

Look at how we talk about things that are finished. We add -ed to the end of action words.

Examples from the text:

  • Start → Started
  • Work → Worked
  • Talk → Talked
  • Decide → Decided

The "No" Rule (Negative Past) When we want to say something did not happen, we don't use -ed. We use did not + the basic word.

  • Wrong: He not worked.
  • Right: He did not win.
  • Right: They did not reach.

Quick Logic: Positive (+) \rightarrow Word + ed Negative (-) \rightarrow did not + Word
