🚨 Telling Stories About the Past
When we talk about things that already happened, we change the action words.
The Simple Shift Most words just get an -ed at the end:
- Look Looked
- Wait Waited
- Arrest Arrested
The Rule-Breakers Some words change completely. You just have to remember them:
- Die Died (Easy!)
- Drive Drove (Different!)
- Break Broke (Different!)
The 'No' Word To say someone didn't do something, use did not + the original word:
- He did not have a license. (Not "did not had")
- He did not wait. (Not "did not waited")
