🕵️ The "Past Story" Pattern

When we tell a story about things that already happened, we often add -ed to the action word.

Look at these changes:

  • Look →\to Looked
  • Hate →\to Hated
  • Want →\to Wanted

⚠️ The Tricky Words (The Rebels) Some words don't follow the -ed rule. You just have to memorize them:

  • Do →\to Did
  • Say →\to Said
  • Be →\to Was / Were

Example from the text: "Police think Theo Silverton did not have an accident." (Think = Now / Did = Past)
