🥊 Action Words: Past vs. Now

In this story, we see words that describe things that already happened. To tell a story about the past, we often just add -ed to the word.

The Pattern:

Win → Winned? ❌ (No! This one is special: Won)
Fight → Fighted? ❌ (No! This one is special: Fought)
Beat → Beated? ❌ (No! It stays Beat)
Start → Started ✅

Check the difference:

"Roman Reigns won the championship." (It happened in the past)

"Fans will vote for the winner." (It will happen in the future)
