🕒 The "Past Time" Pattern

Look at how we talk about things that already happened. We often just add -ed to the action word.

  • stop → stopped*
  • follow → followed*

Wait! Some words are rebels. They change completely:

  • go → went*
  • give → gave*
  • write → wrote*

🛠️ Building Sentences

To say something is happening now, we use is/are + -ing: The news companies are still closed. (State of being) The workers are moving. (Action now)

Quick Tip: If you see a date (like 2017 or 2013), you MUST use the past form (stopped, gave, wrote) → This is the key to A2 level storytelling.
