🕒 Talking about the Past

In this story, everything already happened. We use a special form of words to show this.

The Secret Rule: Just add -ed to the action word.

  • Attack →\rightarrow Attacked
  • Help →\rightarrow Helped

Wait! Some words are rebels. They don't follow the -ed rule. You just have to memorize them:

  • Is/Are →\rightarrow Was/Were
  • Say →\rightarrow Said
  • Die →\rightarrow Died

Example from text: "China helped the two countries talk." (This happened in April, so we use helped).
