Learning

The "Past Power" Pattern

Look at how the story describes things that already happened. We use a special ending for most words to show the past: -ed.

The Pattern: Word + ed → Past Action

  • finish →\rightarrow finished
  • ask →\rightarrow asked
  • want →\rightarrow wanted
  • turn →\rightarrow turned

The Tricksters Some words are rebels. They don't use -ed. They change their whole shape:

  • Feel →\rightarrow Felt (Not "feeled")
  • Have →\rightarrow Had (Not "haved")
  • Fight →\rightarrow Fought (Not "fighted")

Quick Tip: If you want to talk about yesterday, look for the -ed or learn the rebel words!
