Look at these words from the story. They all describe things that already happened:

  • died (not die)
  • fell (not fall)
  • climbed (not climb)
  • slipped (not slip)

The Simple Rule: To talk about yesterday or the past, most words just need an -ed at the end (like climbed). But some words are 'rebels' and change completely (like fall → fell).
