💡 The 'Past' Secret

To talk about things that are finished, we often just add -ed to the action word.

  • Study → Studied
  • Hire → Hired

But wait! Some words are rebels. They change completely. Look at these from the story:

  • Find (now) \rightarrow Found (then)
  • Feel (now) \rightarrow Felt (then)
  • Do (now) \rightarrow Did (then)

Quick Tip: When you see 'did not', the next word stays in the 'now' form. Example: He did not move (NOT 'did not moved').
