The 'Past' Power-Up

Look at how the story tells us what happened. In English, we add -ed to the end of a word to show it is finished.

The Pattern:

  • Play → Played
  • Change → Changed

The 'Rule Breaker': Some words are rebels. They don't use -ed. You just have to memorize them:

  • Win → Won
  • Beat → Beat (stays the same!)

Quick Guide for A2: If you want to talk about yesterday, check if the word is a 'Regular' (add -ed) or a 'Rebel' (change the word).
