💡 The 'Past Action' Secret

Look at these words from the text:

  • played
  • shared
  • deleted
  • paid

When we talk about things that happened before now, we often add -ed to the end of the action word.

Examples: Play →\rightarrow Played Share →\rightarrow Shared Delete →\rightarrow Deleted

⚠️ The Rule-Breaker

Some words don't follow the -ed rule. They change completely.

Pay →\rightarrow Paid (NOT "Payed")

Quick Tip: If you see a word like Paid, it is a special 'irregular' word. You just have to remember it!
