⚡ The 'Past Story' Pattern

When we talk about things that already happened (like this fire), we change the end of the action word.

The Pattern: Action Word + -ed →\rightarrow Past Time

Look at these examples from the story:

  • Happen →\rightarrow Happened
  • Jump →\rightarrow Jumped
  • Arrest →\rightarrow Arrested

Wait! Some words are 'Rule Breakers' (Irregular): These don't use -ed. You just have to remember them:

  • Have →\rightarrow Had
  • Do →\rightarrow Did
  • Give →\rightarrow Gave

Quick Tip for A2: If you see -ed, the event is finished. If you see did not, the action didn't happen in the past.
