✈️ The 'Action' Pattern

Look at how we talk about things that happened in the past. We just add -ed to the end of the word to show it is finished.

Past Actions:

  • Start →\rightarrow Started
  • Stop →\rightarrow Stopped
  • Burn →\rightarrow Burned
  • Land →\rightarrow Landed

The Rule: If you want to tell a story about yesterday or last year, use the -ed ending.

Example: "The plane landed safely." (It is not landing now; it already happened!)

🔋 Grouping Things (Plurals)

When there is more than one of something, we add an -s.

  • One fire →\rightarrow Many fires
  • One charger →\rightarrow Two chargers
  • One rule →\rightarrow New rules
