🕒 The "Past Time" Pattern
To tell a story about something that already happened, we often change the action word (verb). Look at how these words changed in the text:
- Go Went
- Attack Attacked
- Help Helped
- Arrest Arrested
The Golden Rule for A2: Most words just need an -ed at the end to move to the past. However, some "rebel" words (like go went) change completely.
