🕒 The 'Past' Pattern

When we talk about things that already happened, we often add -ed to the action word.

  • Play \rightarrow Played
  • Happen \rightarrow Happened*
  • Watch \rightarrow Watched

Note: "Happened" is a bit tricky because it sounds like 'apt' at the end, but we still write the -ed!
