Vocabulary Learning
🕒 The "Past Event" Pattern
In this story, everything already happened. To talk about the past in English, we often just add -ed to the action word.
Look at the change:
- Choose Chose (Special change!)
- Happen Happened
- Finish Finished
- Trade Traded
Simple Rule for A2: When you see -ed, the action is over. It is not happening now; it happened yesterday, last week, or in 2026.
