🕒 The 'Past' Secret

Look at how the story changes from now to then.

The Pattern: Most words just get an -ed at the end to show it already happened.

  • Stand \rightarrow stood (Special change!)
  • Call \rightarrow called
  • Happen \rightarrow happened

📦 Word Pairs (Action \rightarrow Object)

In A2 English, we connect a doing word to a thing. See how it works here:

  1. Threw \rightarrow eggs
  2. Hit \rightarrow her
  3. Stop \rightarrow the crowd

Tip: Always ask 'What?' after the action to make a full sentence.


⚠️ The 'No' Word

To say something didn't happen, use did not.

  • The police did not help.
  • The police did not stop.

Important: When you use 'did not', the action word goes back to its normal, present form. You don't need the -ed anymore!
