Learning

⚡ The 'Past Action' Pattern

Look at these words from the text:

  • Showed
  • Were
  • Talked
  • Cut
  • Removed
  • Ended

How it works: To talk about things that already happened, we often add -ed to the end of the word.

Examples from the story:

  • Talk →\rightarrow Talked
  • End →\rightarrow Ended

The 'Rule Breakers' (Irregular): Some words change completely or stay the same. You just have to remember them!

  • Are →\rightarrow Were
  • Cut →\rightarrow Cut (No change!)

Quick Tip: If you see -ed, the story is likely in the past.
