Past Town
Momo: Why are people frozen? Only if you can say what happened!
Dr Divide: Past Tense jammed! Say wrong, stay stuck!
Momo: How do I help? What do I say?
First: add -ed
walk → walked
talk → talked
wake → woke
Momo: Most verbs add -ed at the end. Easy peasy!
Dr Divide: Walked, talked, woke. Ha!
Momo: See: Most verbs get a -ed helper, like play->played.
run → ran
play → played
sleep → slept
Next: some change
go → went
see → saw
do → did
Momo: Some verbs are special and change. Like go becoming went.
