⚡ The 'Action' Secret
Look at these words from the story:
- Started
- Looked
- Released
- Wanted
What is happening here? All these words end in -ed. In English, when we talk about things that are finished (the past), we simply add -ed to the action word.

🛠️ Word Swap
In the text, we see: "Some people like him." If we want to talk about yesterday, we change like liked.
Remember: If the word already has an 'e' (like like), you just add the -d.
Example from text:
- "Many leaders... did not like this idea." (Here, we use 'like' because 'did not' already tells us it is the past!)
