πŸ•’ The 'Past' Action

To tell a story, we change the end of the word. Most words just get an -ed.

  • Stop β†’ Stopped*
  • Open β†’ Opened*
  • Start β†’ Started*

Wait! Some words are 'rebels' and change completely. You must memorize these:

  • Run β†’ Ran*
  • Find β†’ Found*
  • Have β†’ Had*

πŸ’‘ Quick Tip: The 'Not' Rule

When we want to say something didn't happen in the past, we use did not + the normal word.

❌ Wrong: The police did not found the people. βœ… Right: The police did not find the people.

(The word 'did' already tells us it is the past, so the main verb stays simple!)
