⚡ The 'Action' Pattern

Look at how we talk about things that already happened in this story. We use a simple change to the word to show the past.

The Rule: Just add -ed to the end of the action word.

  • attack \rightarrow attacked*
  • use \rightarrow used*
  • happen \rightarrow happened*

⚠️ The 'Rule Breakers'

Some words are rebels. They don't use -ed. You must memorize these common changes:

  • say \rightarrow said
  • die \rightarrow died (this one looks normal!)
  • do \rightarrow did
