🕒 The 'Past Story' Pattern

When we tell a story about something that happened before, we change the end of the action word.

The Simple Change Most words just add -ed:

  • Attack \rightarrow Attacked
  • Try \rightarrow Tried*

The 'Rule-Breakers' (Irregular) Some words change completely. You must memorize these:

  • Go \rightarrow Went
  • Hit \rightarrow Hit (stays the same!)
  • See \rightarrow Saw
  • Feel \rightarrow Felt

Why this helps you reach A2: If you only use present words ("He go to prison"), you sound like a beginner. Using these past forms ("He went to prison") shows you can describe real events that already happened.
