⏳ The 'Past' Secret

In this story, almost everything happened before now. To talk about the past, we often add -ed to the action word.

Look at these changes:

  • help →\rightarrow helped
  • kill →\rightarrow killed

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

  • give →\rightarrow gave
  • hide →\rightarrow hid
  • find →\rightarrow found
  • go →\rightarrow went
  • say →\rightarrow said

Quick Tip: If you see -ed, it's usually a 'regular' past word. If the word looks totally different, it's an 'irregular' word. You just need to memorize the rebels!
