💡 Spotting the 'Action' (Past Tense)

In this story, most things already happened. To talk about the past in English, we often just add -ed to the end of the word.

Look at these changes:

  • Watch → Watched
  • Use → Used

Watch out! Some words are 'rebels' and change completely. They don't follow the -ed rule:

  • Win → Won
  • Have → Had

🛠️ Useful Word Pairs

When we describe a person's job or where they are, we use these simple patterns:

  • [Name] is a [Job] \rightarrow Elton Sawyer is a leader.
  • [Name] was at [Place] \rightarrow Workers were at the track.

⚠️ The 'But' Switch

Use the word 'but' when you want to show a change from something bad to something good (or vice versa):

Bad race \rightarrow BUT \rightarrow Good qualifying
