For curious minds ages 3–12

⏪ Past Tense

Yesterday words: Today I walk. Yesterday I walked. Some words are tricky — we do not say "goed", we say "went".

📖 Teacher explanation: The past tense tells what already happened. Regular verbs add -ed (walk → walked). Irregular verbs change shape (go → went, eat → ate).

✨ Example

Today I eat an apple. Yesterday I ate an apple.
