🕰️ Talking About the Past

When we talk about people who are no longer with us or things that already happened, we change the action word (verb).

The Pattern: Adding '-ed' Most of the time, you just add -ed to the end of the word to move it from 'Now' to 'Then'.

  • Play \rightarrow Played
  • Talk \rightarrow Talked

Example from the text:

  • "He played basketball for the Chicago Bulls."
  • "He talked about basketball on TV."

⚠️ The Rule-Breakers (Irregular Words) Some words are 'rebels' and change completely. You have to memorize these because they don't follow the -ed rule.

  • Win \rightarrow Won (Not "Winned")
  • Is/Am/Are \rightarrow Was

Example from the text:

  • "He won three championships."
  • "Stacey King was a champion player."
