🟢 The 'Action' Pattern: Past Tense
When we talk about things that already happened (like the election), we change the end of the word.
Look at these changes from the text:
- Change Changed
- Happen Happened
- Want Wanted
- Block Blocked
💡 Simple Rule
To talk about yesterday or last week, just add -ed to the end of the action word.

- Lose Lost
- Get Got
Example from the story:
