💡 The 'Action' Pattern
In this story, we see many things happening in the Past. To reach A2, you need to see how we change basic words to show something is finished.
The Pattern: Word Word + ed
- want wanted
- protest protested
- arrest arrest**ed*
Wait! Some words are 'Rebels' (Irregular): These words don't follow the +ed rule. You must memorize them:
- die died (follows the rule!)
- have had (rebel!)
- say said (rebel!)
- leave left (rebel!)
Quick Rule for A2: If you see -ed, the action is over. If you see a 'rebel' word like left or had, the action is also over, but the word changed its shape.
