🕒 Past Action Patterns

Look at how the story describes things that already happened. We change the action word (verb) to show the past.

The Change:

  • Start \rightarrow Started
  • Move \rightarrow Moved*
  • Stop \rightarrow Stopped

The Exception (Irregular): Some words change completely. They don't use "-ed".

  • Die \rightarrow Died (follows the rule)
  • Is/Are \rightarrow Was/Were (completely different!)

To reach A2, you need to talk about groups of people. See how the text does this:

  1. Specific Group: "All patients and workers"
  2. General Group: "Many police and firefighters"
