The 'Past' Story

When we talk about things that already happened (like a boxing match), we change the action word.

The Magic 'ED' Rule Most words just need -ed at the end to move from now → before.

  • Stop → Stopped*
  • Want → Wanted*

The Rule Breakers (Special Words) Some words change completely. You just have to remember them:

  • Win → Won
  • Lose → Lost*
  • Be → Was/Were*

Spotting them in the text: "Daniel Dubois won the fight" (It happened already). "The referee stopped the fight" (It happened already).
