Teacher, why do we write "studied" but "played"? Both end in 'y'.

Great question! Look at the letter *before* the 'y'. In "stu**d**y", there is a consonant (d) before 'y', so we change 'y' to 'i'. In "pl**a**y", there is a vowel (a) before 'y', so we just add -ed! ✨

No, Vireak. For action verbs like 'play', we don't use 'was'. You just say "I played football yesterday." Keep practicing! 👍
