The key idea

No llevan -ed: cambian

Los verbos irregulares no siguen la regla del -ed. Cambian de forma y hay que memorizarlos. Se aprenden en tres columnas: la base, el pasado, y el participio, que vas a necesitar la próxima semana para el present perfect.
“build, built, built — buy, bought, bought — win, won, won.”
Columna 1 · base
build
Hoy: I build a house every day.
Columna 2 · pasado
built
Ayer: I built a castle.
Columna 3 · participio
built
Perfecto: I have built 50 houses. (semana 2)

Video focus

Three tools for the past: was, did, had

Was · the static camera
States, places, weather
No action, just a picture: «I was tired.» «She was at school.» «It was cold.» Subject + was + adjective / place / noun.
Did · the action engine
Questions and negatives
It starts the question and the verb stays in base form: «Did you eat?» never Did you ate. «I didn't play yesterday.»
Had · the time machine
Possession or earlier past
«I had a bike when I was ten.» And the past perfect: «I had already eaten when they arrived.» The classic error to kill: I was go.
