Learning
The 'Past' Secret
Look at these words from the story:
- played
- stopped
- earned
The Pattern When we talk about things that are finished (yesterday, last year, or when someone was young), we usually add -ed to the action word.
Today: I play soccer. Past: I played soccer.
Wait! One special word: In the story, we see: "He became an actor."
Some words are 'rebels' and change completely. They don't use -ed.
- Become → Became
- Have → Had
