⚡️ Focus: Telling a Story in the Past

Look at how the text describes things that already happened. It uses simple action words that change to show the past.

The Pattern: Most words just add -ed at the end.

  • Attack → Attacked
  • Happen → Happened

The 'Rule Breakers': Some words change completely. You just have to remember these:

  • Take → Took (Example: A helicopter took her)
  • Give → Gave (Example: Doctors gave her medicine)
  • Wake → Woke (Example: Leah woke up)

Quick Map for A2 Level: Now → is/are\text{is/are} \rightarrow Past was/were\text{was/were} Now \rightarrow Action\text{Action} \rightarrow Past Action + ed (or special word)\text{Action + ed (or special word)}
