🕒 The 'Past' Secret

Look at these words from the story:

  • Play →\rightarrow Played
  • Ask →\rightarrow Asked
  • Work →\rightarrow Worked
  • Thank →\rightarrow Thanked

The Rule: To talk about things that are finished, we often just add -ed to the end of the action word. It is like a time stamp for the past.

🔑 Useful Pairs

Some words in the text work together to give a clear meaning:

  • New team: A group he hasn't played for before.
  • Good player: Someone who plays the game well.
  • Internet message: A note sent online.

💡 Simple Switch

Instead of saying "He is free," we can say:

  • He can look for a new team.

Can means he has the power or permission to do it now.
