🕒 The "Past Story" Pattern
When we tell a story about something that finished, we usually add -ed to the action word.
Look at these changes:
- Attack Attacked
- Try Tried
- Kill Killed
Wait! Some words are rebels. They don't use -ed. They change completely:
- Go Went
- Bit (from Bite) Bit
- Die Died (This one follows the rule!)
Quick Guide for A2: If you want to talk about yesterday, look for the -ed sound or memorize the 'rebel' words like went.
