⏱️ The "Past Time" Pattern

Look at how the story tells us things already happened. We use -ed endings to show the action is finished.

The Pattern: Action → Add -ed

  • arrest →\rightarrow arrested
  • attack →\rightarrow attacked
  • want →\rightarrow wanted

⚠️ The Rule Breakers

Some words don't follow the -ed rule. You just have to memorize these "Special Words":

  • Die →\rightarrow Died (Regular)
  • Fight →\rightarrow Fought (Special!)
  • Put →\rightarrow Put (Stays the same!)

💡 Quick Tip: The "Age" Description

To describe a person's age as an adjective, use hyphens (-):

A 21-year-old man →\rightarrow One person, twenty-one years old.

Notice: We say "year" (singular), not "years," when it is used as a description before the person.
