🕒 Talking about the Past

To reach A2, you need to tell stories about what happened. In this text, we see a very common pattern: The Simple Past.

How to build it: Most action words just add -ed at the end.

  • Fight \rightarrow Fighted (Wait! This is a 'rule breaker' see below)
  • Use \rightarrow Used

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

  • Win \rightarrow Won
  • Have \rightarrow Had

Example from text:

  • "Abdul-Rakhman Yakhyaev won his fight."
  • "They had different styles."

📍 Where and When

Notice how the writer starts the story. To be clear in A2 English, put the Time and Place first:

DateightarrowextCityightarrowextEvent\text{Date} ightarrow ext{City} ightarrow ext{Event}

Example: "On June 27, 2026 (Time) \rightarrow in Baku (Place) \rightarrow the UFC had a fight night (Event)."
