⚡️ The 'Past Action' Pattern

Look at how we talk about things that already happened in the story:

  • Died (Die \to Died)
  • Fell (Fall \to Fell)
  • Pushed (Push \to Pushed)
  • Arrested (Arrest \to Arrested)

The Secret Rule: To tell a story about yesterday or last year, most words just need a -ed at the end.

The 'Rule Breakers' (Irregular): Some words change completely. You must memorize these because they don't follow the -ed rule:

  • Fall \to Fell
  • Know \to Knew

Quick Check:

  • Now: I push the door.
  • Past: I pushed the door.
  • Now: I fall down.
  • Past: I fell down.
