The 'Action' Pattern

Look at how the story tells us what happened. It uses simple words for actions:

  • Killed (Past action) → The army killed leaders.
  • Opened (Past action) → One group opened a school.
  • Died (Past action) → Two young men died.

Easy Rule for A2: To talk about the past, we often add -ed to the end of the action word.

  • Open \rightarrow Opened
  • Attack \rightarrow Attacked

Special Word: Die becomes Died. It is not 'died-ed', just one 'd' at the end.


Words to remember for beginners:

  • Civilian: A person who is not a soldier.
  • Militant: A person who uses force/fighting.
  • Temporary: Not for a long time; just for now.
