Learning

The 'Who' and 'What' (Simple Past)

Look at how we describe things that already happened. We just add -ed to the action word.

  • arrest →\rightarrow arrested
  • want →\rightarrow wanted
  • stop →\rightarrow stopped
  • search →\rightarrow searched

💡 Quick Tip: The 'Irregular' Rule

Some words are rebels. They don't use -ed. They change completely:

  • have →\rightarrow had
  • tell →\rightarrow told
  • find →\rightarrow found
  • go →\rightarrow went (The text uses 'can go' for the future, but the past is 'went')
