generalization.

Other people like to ski

Or sled down a hill, but not me

While you‟re bundling up in your jacket

I‟m tearing open a hot cocoa packet

I don‟t mind summer, I‟ll make that clear

But winter‟s my favorite time of the year

Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me.

called past forms of the verb. Except irregular verbs, past forms of the
verb are formed by adding ed or d to the main form of the verb.
