πŸ•’ The "Past Time" Secret

To tell a story, we change the action word. Look at how the story moves from today to the past:

  • Find β†’\rightarrow Found
  • Search β†’\rightarrow Searched
  • Ask β†’\rightarrow Asked
  • Live β†’\rightarrow Lived

How it works: Most of the time, you just add -ed to the end of the word.

  • Example: Search + ed = Searched.

The Rule-Breakers: Some words are rebels. They change completely. You must memorize these.

  • Example: Find becomes Found (Not "finded").
