Learning
π The "Past Time" Secret
In this story, we see how to talk about things that already happened.
The Rule: For most basic actions, we just add -ed to the end of the word.
- Look β Looked
- Want β Wanted
The 'Rule-Breakers' (Irregular): Some words change completely. You just have to memorize these:
- See β Saw
- Do β Did
β οΈ Saying "No" in the Past
When we want to say something did NOT happen, we use a special helper: did not.
Crucial Point: When you use did not, the main action word goes back to its normal, present form.
β The driver did not stopped. (Wrong) β The driver did not stop. (Right)
Pattern: Did not + Normal Word Past Negative
