🕒 The "Past Simple" Action Map
Look at how these words change to tell a story that already happened:
- Left (from leave)
- Had (from have)
- Wanted (from want)
- Stopped (from stop)
- Saw (from see)
- Flew (from fly)
The Simple Rule: Most words just need an -ed at the end (like wanted). But some are "rebels" and change their whole shape (like saw or flew).
Real-world use: "He left his family" = It happened in the past. It is finished.
