🐝 Moving from 'Now' to 'Then'

To reach A2, you must talk about things that already happened. Look at these words from the story:

  • Carry \rightarrow Carried
  • Fly \rightarrow Flew
  • Take \rightarrow Took
  • Fall \rightarrow Fell

The Simple Rule: Most words just need -ed at the end (like carried). But some words are 'rebels' and change completely (like fly becoming flew).

Why this matters: If you say "The truck fall over," it sounds like it is happening every day. If you say "The truck fell over," you are telling a story about the past.
