⚡ The 'Past Action' Pattern

In this story, we see how to talk about things that already happened. We use special words called Past Tense.

Look at these changes:

  • Pick → Picked
  • Like → Liked
  • Talk → Talked
  • Want → Wanted

The Secret Rule: To talk about yesterday or last year, just add -ed to the end of the action word.

Example: "John liked new players" → This happened in the past.

The 'Odd One Out' (Irregular): Some words are rebels and don't use -ed.

  • Make → Made (Not 'maked')
  • Do → Did (Not 'doed')

Quick Map: Now → Past I pick → I picked I make → I made
