Learning

πŸ•’ The 'Past' Secret

To talk about things that already happened (like a game last week), we often just add -ed to the action word.

Look at these examples from the text:

  • Play β†’ Played
  • Help β†’ Helped
  • Change β†’ Changed

But watch out! Some words are 'rebels' and change completely. They don't follow the -ed rule:

  • Get β†’ Got
  • Do β†’ Did

πŸ‘₯ People & Groups

When we talk about more than one person, we use Their.

  • Example: "Their names are Alannah, Sage, and Karlyn."
  • This means the names belong to those three people.

Quick Guide:

  • 1 Person β†’ His/Her
