⚡ The 'Action' Pattern

Look at how the story tells us what happened. Everything is in the Past.

The Rule: To talk about yesterday or last year, we often add -ed to the word.

  • work →\rightarrow worked*
  • look →\rightarrow looked*
  • watch →\rightarrow watched*

Wait! Some words are 'Rebels' (Irregular): Some words change completely. You must memorize these:

  • catch →\rightarrow caught*
  • take →\rightarrow took*
  • go →\rightarrow went*
  • find →\rightarrow found*

Quick Map for your Brain: Police →\rightarrow worked (Regular) Police →\rightarrow caught (Rebel) People →\rightarrow went (Rebel)
