🕒 The "Back Then" Rule

When we talk about things that finished in the past, we change the action word (verb).

Look at the patterns:

  • Work \rightarrow Worked
  • Help \rightarrow Helped
  • Want \rightarrow Wanted

The Secret: Just add -ed to the end of the word to move it from now to before.

Examples from the story:

  • "Trevor worked with the band" (He did this in the past).
  • "He helped the band" (This happened before now).
