Read the passage below and pay attention to words ending in -ed.
Yesterday, our class visited the animal shelter. We walked past many cages. A small puppy barked happily when I stopped to look at him. He wagged his tail and licked my hand. The volunteers explained how they cared for all the animals. We learned about the different breeds and how important it is to adopt pets. Everyone enjoyed their time at the shelter, and we even helped cleaned some of the kennels. It was a very rewarding day!
