🕵️ The 'Past Action' Pattern

Look at how the story tells us what happened. Most sentences use a special 'Past' form of the action word. This is the fastest way to move from A1 to A2.

The Pattern: Action word + -ed → Happened in the past.

Examples from the text:

  • Arrest \rightarrow Arrested
  • Work \rightarrow Worked*

The 'Rule Breakers' (Irregular): Some words don't follow the -ed rule. You must memorize these:

  • Steal \rightarrow Stole
  • Have \rightarrow Had
  • Tell \rightarrow Told
  • Break \rightarrow Broke

Quick Guide for A2: When you see stole or arrested, the story is not happening now. It is a finished memory.
