🕒 The 'Past' Action Pattern

To reach A2, you must know how to tell a story about things that already happened. Look at these words from the text:

  • Found (Find \rightarrow Found)
  • Saw (See \rightarrow Saw)
  • Left (Leave \rightarrow Left)
  • Took (Take \rightarrow Took)
  • Caught (Catch \rightarrow Caught)

The Rule: These are 'Special' (Irregular) verbs. They do not end in -ed. You must memorize them as a pair.


🌍 Talking about People & Places

Notice how the text connects people to where they are from:

"He is from Australia." "They live in Kalasin."

Quick Guide:

  • Use FROM for your origin (where you were born).
  • Use IN for your current location (where you sleep now).

💡 Simple Word Swap

Instead of using big words, use these A2-friendly alternatives found in the text:

  • Strongest punishment \rightarrow The worst penalty.
  • Many charges \rightarrow Many crimes.
  • Enter a building \rightarrow Go inside.
