⚡ Quick Focus: The 'Past' Story

When we tell a story about something that already happened, we often change the action word (the verb).

Look at these changes from the text:

  • Talk \rightarrow Talked
  • Say \rightarrow Said
  • Make \rightarrow Made

How it works: Most words just need an -ed at the end (like talked). But some words are "rebels" and change completely (like said and made).
