🕒 The "Past" Trick

To talk about things that already happened, we often change the end of the word. Look at these words from the story:

  • Win \rightarrow Won (Special change!)
  • Beat \rightarrow Beat (Stays the same!)
  • Play \rightarrow Played (Add -ed)
  • Hit \rightarrow Hit (Stays the same!)
  • Feel \rightarrow Felt (Special change!)

The Golden Rule for A2: If you want to say something happened yesterday or last year, check if the word is "regular" (adds -ed) or "special" (changes completely).

Quick Example:

  • Now: I play tennis.
  • Past: I played tennis.
