🕒 The 'Past' Story Trick

When we tell a story about things that already happened, we often add -ed to the action word. This is the easiest way to move from A1 to A2 English.

Look at the patterns from the news:

Arrest $\rightarrow$ Arrested
Climb $\rightarrow$ Climbed
Ask $\rightarrow$ Asked

Wait! Some words are 'Rule-Breakers' (Irregular): Some words change completely. You just have to memorize these:

Put $\rightarrow$ Put (Stayed the same!)
Break $\rightarrow$ Broke

Quick Guide for You: $\text{Today I climb}$ $\rightarrow$ $\text{Yesterday I climbed}$ $\text{Today I break}$ $\rightarrow$ $\text{Yesterday I broke}$
