🕒 Talking about the past

When we talk about things that happened before now, we often add -ed to the action word. This is the easiest way to move from A1 to A2 English.

Look at these changes from the story:

  • Arrest →\rightarrow Arrested
  • Follow →\rightarrow Followed
  • Scare\text{e} →\rightarrow Scared
  • Start →\rightarrow Started

Wait! Some words are rebels. They don't use "-ed". You just have to remember them:

  • Send →\rightarrow Sent
  • Go →\rightarrow Went
  • Tell →\rightarrow Told

Quick Tip for A2: If you see a date like "In September 2025" or "In February", you almost always need to use these past-tense words!
