đŸŽ¯ The "Action" Word Secret

Look at these words from the story:

  • won
  • played
  • used
  • broke
  • told

What is happening here? These are things that already happened. They are in the Past.

The Magic Rule: For most basic words, just add -ed to the end to move the action to yesterday.

  • Play → Played
  • Use → Useed (used)

Watch out! Some words are "rebels." They change completely. You just have to memorize them:

  • Win → Won
  • Break → Broke
  • Tell → Told

Quick Example: Today I play baseball. →\rightarrow Yesterday I played baseball.
