⚡️ The 'Past Action' Pattern

Look at these words from the story: left, made, asked, went.

These are not 'now' words. They are 'before' words. In English, we change the end of the word to show it happened in the past.

How it works:

  1. The Regular Way (Add -ed) \rightarrow ask becomes asked
  2. The Special Way (Word changes) \rightarrow go becomes went / make becomes made

Real-life use:

  • I went to the cafe. (Yesterday)
  • The baby made noise. (An hour ago)

💡 Quick Tip: The 'Must' Rule

"The parents must leave the room."

Use must when there is a strong rule. There is no choice.

  • Rule \rightarrow Must \rightarrow Action
