Learning

🕰️ Talking about the Past

In this story, we see a simple way to tell a story about things that already happened. To do this, we often add -ed to the end of a word.

Examples from the text:

  • Marry →\rightarrow Married
  • Change →\rightarrow Changed
  • Decide →\rightarrow Decided

Wait! Some words are 'rebels' and change completely:

  • Have →\rightarrow Had
  • Go →\rightarrow Went
  • Say →\rightarrow Said

Quick Look: The 'Not' Past When we want to say something didn't happen, we use did not + the basic word.

  • Example: He did not help Lisa enough. (Notice: we don't say 'did not helped')
