🕵️ The 'Past Action' Pattern

To move toward A2, you need to describe things that already happened. Look at how the story changes words to show the Past.

The Change List:

  • Go \rightarrow Went
  • Have \rightarrow Had
  • Wear \rightarrow Wore
  • Take \rightarrow Took
  • Drive \rightarrow Drove

💡 Simple Rule: When you tell a story about yesterday or last year, you cannot use the 'normal' word. You must use the 'past' version.

Example from the text:

  • Wrong: He take $12,000.
  • Right: He took 12,000.12,000. \rightarrow$ (This happened in 2026, so it is finished).

Quick Tip for Beginners: Notice that Went, Had, Wore, Took, and Drove do not end in "-ed". These are 'special' words. You simply memorize them to describe a crime or a trip!
