💡 The 'Past' Pattern

To talk about things that already happened, we often add -ed to the action word. Look at how these words changed in the story:

  • Work → Worked
  • Live → Lived
  • Fight → Fought (Special change!)

🛠️ Simple Family Connections

Notice how we describe people and their roles:

Two parents \rightarrow The mother and father. Two daughters \rightarrow The children (girls). Ex-wife \rightarrow A person who was married before, but is not now.


⚠️ Quick Note on 'But'

We use but when two ideas are different:

  • They were not married, but they lived for their children.

( Idea 1: No marriage \neq Idea 2: Living together for kids )
