🕒 The 'Past' Habit

In this story, almost everything already happened. To tell a story about the past, we often just add -ed to the end of the action word.

Look at these changes:

  • Search \rightarrow Searched
  • Arrest \rightarrow Arrested
  • Fight \rightarrow Fighted (Wait! This one is special \rightarrow Fought)

💡 The 'Special' Words (Irregular)

Some words don't follow the -ed rule. You just have to memorize them:

  1. Find \rightarrow Found
  2. Go \rightarrow Went
  3. Do \rightarrow Did
