⚡ The 'Action' Pattern

Look at these sentences from the text:

  • "Ty Head was the first player."
  • "Jacob Dudan joined the Athletics."
  • "Luke played very well."

The Rule: When we talk about things that happened in the past, we often add -ed to the action word.

  • Join \rightarrow Joined
  • Play \rightarrow Played

Watch Out! Some words are rebels and change completely. They don't follow the -ed rule:

  • Is \rightarrow Was

💰 Talking About Money

In the text, we see two ways to talk about amounts:

  1. More than 2million2 million \rightarrow$ (Higher than a number)
  2. About 500,000500,000 \rightarrow$ (Close to a number, but not exact)

Use these words when you aren't 100% sure of the exact number!
