🕒 The 'Past' Secret

To tell a story in English, we often add -ed to the end of a word. This shows the action is finished.

Look at these changes from the story:

  • wait →\rightarrow waited
  • chase →\rightarrow chased*
  • stab →\rightarrow stabbed*

*(Note: For 'chased', we just add 'd'. For 'stabbed', we double the last letter).*n

⚠️ The 'Rule-Breakers'

Some words are rebels. They don't use -ed. You just have to memorize them!

Story Examples:

  • Go →\rightarrow Went
  • Have →\rightarrow Had
  • Say →\rightarrow Said
  • Die →\rightarrow Died (This one actually follows the rule!)

💡 Quick Tip for A2

If you see -ed, think: Yesterday or A long time ago.
