⚖️ The 'Who Did What' Pattern

Look at how the text describes actions in the past. This is the most important tool for A2 learners: The Simple Past.

1. The Regular Pattern (Add -ed) When something happened and finished, we often just add -ed to the action word:

  • Investigate → Investigated
  • Hurt → Hurt (Special case: stays the same!)
  • Punish → Punished

2. The Irregular Change (Word Changes) Some words are 'rebels' and change completely. You must memorize these:

  • Give → Gave
  • Tell → Told
  • Say → Said
  • Do → Did

3. Why this matters for A2 If you want to tell a story or report a fact (like a news article), you cannot use the present tense.

Example from text:

  • Wrong: "The judge want to protect the law." (Present)
  • Right: "The judge wanted to protect the law." (Past)

Quick Cheat Sheet:

  • Happened \rightarrow (Past)
  • Decided \rightarrow (Past)
  • Got \rightarrow (Past of 'Get')
