⏱️ The "Past" Pattern
Look at how the story tells us what happened. We change the action word to show it is finished.
The Simple Change
- Play → Played
- Work → Worked
- Score → Scored
The Special Change Some words don't follow the rule. They change completely:
- Win → Won
- Beat → Beat (stays the same!)
- Are → Were (for more than one person)
Quick Tip for A2: If you see -ed, the action is over. If you see won, the game is finished.
