The Action Word (Verb):
- disappeared (happen in 2001)
- killed (it is finished)
- died (it is finished)

The Secret Rule: Most of the time, just add -ed to the end of the word to move it from today $\rightarrow$ yesterday.

The 'No' Rule (Negative): When we want to say something did NOT happen, we use did not + the simple word.

Wrong: He did not died. $\times$
Right: He did not say. $\checkmark$
