🕰️ Talking about the Past
In this story, everything happened before now. To do this, we change the action words (verbs).
The Change Pattern Most words just get an -ed at the end:
- Search → Searched
- Arrest → Arrested
- Want → Wanted
The Rule Breakers Some words change completely. You must memorize these:
- Go → Went
- Find → Found
- Write → Wrote
- Say → Said
Quick Tip for A2: If you see "was" or "were", you are describing a person or a place in the past. *Example: "Jordan was a mother." (She is not a mother now because she is gone).
