πŸŒͺ️ The 'Past' Secret

Look at these words from the text:

  • died
  • broke
  • rained

These words tell us about things that are finished.

How to use them: To talk about yesterday or last week, we often add -ed to the end of the action word.

  • Example: Rain β†’ Rained

Wait! Some words are rebels: Some words change completely. They don't use -ed.

  • Break β†’ Broke (Not 'breaked')

🌍 Who is doing what?

In English, we put the Person first, then the Action.

President Putin β†’\rightarrow sent β†’\rightarrow a letter

Try this pattern for your own sentences: [Person] β†’\rightarrow [Action] β†’\rightarrow [Thing]
