🕰️ THE 'PAST' STORY
When we tell a story about something that already happened, we change the action words. Look at these changes from the text:
- Find Found
- See Saw
- Take Took
- Put Put (stays the same!)
💡 Why this matters for A2: To move past the beginner level, you must stop saying "Yesterday I go" and start saying "Yesterday I went."
📦 OBJECTS & PLACES
Notice how the writer connects things to places using IN and AT:
(Inside a container) (Inside a city) (A specific point/location)
Quick Rule: Use IN for areas or boxes. Use AT for specific meeting points.
