Look at these words from the text. They tell us what happened:
- Gave (Past of give) → MLB gave warnings.
- Changed (Past of change) → The players changed their hats.
- Wrote (Past of write) → Three players wrote words.
Wait! Why do they look different? Some end in -ed (changed), but others are "special" (gave, wrote). In English, we use these to talk about things that are finished.
