🚩 The "Something Happened" Pattern

In this story, we see how to talk about the past. When things already happened, we change the action word (verb).

Look at these changes:

  • Close \rightarrow Closed
  • Happen \rightarrow Happened
  • Want \rightarrow Wanted
  • Search \rightarrow Searched

The Magic Rule: Just add -ed to the end of the word. This tells the listener: "This is old news!"


Special Words (The Rule Breakers): Some words don't like the -ed rule. They change completely:

  • Send \rightarrow Sent
  • Say \rightarrow Said
  • Find \rightarrow Did not find (We use did to show the past, so the main word stays normal).

Quick Example:

  • Now: I search the room. \rightarrow Past: I searched the room.
