🕒 The 'Past' Story
When we talk about things that are finished, we often just add -ed to the action word. Look at these examples from the story:
- Want Wanted*
- Play Played*
- Stay Stayed*
The Special Case (Irregular): Some words change completely. They don't follow the -ed rule.
- Feel Felt*
- Become Became*
🚫 Saying 'No' in the Past
To say something did not happen, we use did not + the normal word.
- Wrong: He did not played.
- Right: He did not play.
Quick Tip: Once you use 'did not', the action word goes back to its simple form. No need for -ed!
