⚡ The "Past Action" Pattern

Look at these words from the text:

  • Caught
  • Arrived
  • Found
  • Arrested

What is happening here? These are actions that already finished. In A2 English, we change the end of the word to show the past.

The Simple Rule →\rightarrow Add -ed to the end.

  • Arrive →\rightarrow Arrived
  • Arrest →\rightarrow Arrested

The Tricky Part →\rightarrow Some words are "rebels" and change completely.

  • Catch →\rightarrow Caught
  • Find →\rightarrow Found

Why this matters: If you want to tell a story about yesterday or last year, you cannot use the present. You must use these "Past" forms to be understood.
