🕒 The "Back Then" Logic

To talk about someone's life, we use Past Tense. This means adding -ed to the action word.

Look at the pattern:

  • Start \rightarrow Started
  • Work \rightarrow Worked
  • Move \rightarrow Moved
  • Stop \rightarrow Stopped

💡 The Exception: "Was"

We don't use "-ed" for everything. When we describe a person or a state, we use Was.

  • She was a famous actress.
  • She was in many TV shows.

Quick Guide: Action \rightarrow -ed Description \rightarrow Was
