Vocabulary Learning

🕒 Talking about the Past

In the story, we see how to talk about things that already happened. We simply change the action word.

The Change:

  • Win \rightarrow Won
  • Beat \rightarrow Beat (stays the same!)
  • Catch \rightarrow Caught
  • Hit \rightarrow Hit (stays the same!)
  • Play \rightarrow Played

How to say "No" in the past:

If something did not happen, we use did not + the normal action word.

  • Example: Alabama did not play for 27 years.
  • Not: Alabama did not played (Wrong!)

Quick Tip: When you use "did not," the action word goes back to its simple, present form.
