The 'Past' Pattern

In this story, we see how to talk about things that already happened. Most words just add -ed to the end.

  • start \rightarrow started
  • play \rightarrow played

But watch out! Some words change completely. These are 'rule-breakers':

  • win \rightarrow won
  • beat \rightarrow beat (stays the same!)
  • lose \rightarrow lost

Quick Guide for A2: When you talk about a game from yesterday, use these 'past' words to tell the story clearly.
