Past tense verbs are used to talk about actions that already happened. Some verbs change their form in the past tense. For example, say becomes said:
Yesterday, she said she would join us. - Here, said is the past tense of say.
He said the meeting was at noon. - Here, said tells you about something in the past.
Another similar verb is tell, which becomes told in the past tense. For example:
He told me about the plan last week. - Here, told shows the action happened in the past.
Last night, they told stories about our last project. - Here, told is used to describe past storytelling.
The difference is that say focuses on the words someone spoke, while tell is usually followed by a person and shows who received the information.
Don't worry if irregular verbs feel difficult at first. Practice will help you remember them more easily.
