πŸ† Talking About the Past

When we talk about things that happened and are finished, we often add -ed to the action word.

Look at these examples from the story:

  • Play β†’ Played
  • Score β†’ Scored*

Wait! What about "Won"? Some words are rebels. They don't follow the -ed rule. We call these "special changes."

  • Win β†’\rightarrow Won
  • Have β†’\rightarrow Had
  • Beat β†’\rightarrow Beat (This one stays the same!)

How to use it in a sentence:

  • Brazil played well. β†’\rightarrow (Action happened in the past)
  • They won the game. β†’\rightarrow (Action finished)

Quick Tip: If you want to say someone is happy now, say: "Coach is happy." If you want to say they were happy before, say: "Coach was happy."
