πŸ’‘ The "Past Action" Pattern

Look at these words from the story: arrested, drove, caught, helped, hit.

These are all "Past Tense." We use them to talk about things that already happened.

How to spot them:

  • Many end in -ed (like arrested). This is the easy way!
  • Some change completely. These are "rebel words":
    • Drive β†’ Drove
    • Catch β†’ Caught
    • Hit β†’ Hit (This one stays the same!)
