Vocabulary Learning

🕒 Talking about the Past

When we talk about things that already happened, we often add -ed to the action word.

Look at these examples from the text:

  • happen → happened
  • try → tried
  • fix → fixed

Wait! Some words are rebels. They don't follow the -ed rule. We call these 'special' words.

  • can \rightarrow could
  • is/are \rightarrow was/were
  • do \rightarrow did

Quick Tip: If you want to say something did not happen, use: did not + action word (normal form)

Example: Meta did not say why (Not: did not said).
