⚾ Past Actions: The 'ed' Rule

In this story, we see how to talk about things that already happened. Most of the time, we just add -ed to the end of the action word.

Look at these examples from the text:

  • Pick \rightarrow Picked
  • Play \rightarrow Played
  • Start \rightarrow Started
  • Help \rightarrow Help**ed*

The 'Odd' One Out: Some words change completely. They don't use -ed.

  • Have \rightarrow Had
  • Get \rightarrow Got

Quick Guide for A2: If you want to say someone did something in the past (like in 2023 or 2026), check if the word is 'regular' (add -ed) or 'irregular' (it changes shape).
