🌟 The "Past Action" Pattern

Look at how we talk about things that already happened. We often change the action word (verb) by adding -ed or using a special word.

The Pattern:

  • Give \rightarrow Gave (Special change)
  • Receive \rightarrow Received (Add -d)
  • End \rightarrow Ended (Add -ed)
  • Die \rightarrow Died (Add -d)

Why this helps you reach A2: To tell a story or describe a news event, you cannot use the present. You must move the action to the past.

Quick Comparison:

  • Now: He is a good actor. (Fact)
  • Then: He made 400 movies. (Past achievement)

Vocabulary Focus: People & Roles
