πŸ•’ Talking about the Past

When we tell a story about something that already happened, we change the action word. Look at how the text changes words to show it is 'finished' time:

  • Go β†’\rightarrow Went
  • Stay β†’\rightarrow Stayed
  • Talk β†’\rightarrow Talked
  • Work β†’\rightarrow Worked

The Simple Rule: For most words, just add -ed at the end to move it to the past.

The 'Rule Breakers': Some words are special and change completely.

  • Example: Go becomes Went. You cannot say "goed".
