🕒 The 'Past' Secret

In this story, everything happened in the past. To talk about things that are already finished, we often just add -ed to the action word.

Look at these examples from the text:

  • Score → Scored
  • Play → Played
  • Fail → Failed
  • Finish → Finished

Wait! Some words are rebels. They don't use '-ed'. They change completely:

  • Win → Won
  • Beat → Beat (stays the same!)
  • Have → Had

Quick Guide for You:

  • Now: I play \rightarrow Yesterday: I played
  • Now: I win \rightarrow Yesterday: I won
