🕒 The 'Past' Pattern

In this news story, most things happened in the past. To talk about things that are finished, we often just add -ed to the action word.

Look at these changes:

  • Walk → Walked
  • Talk → Talked
  • Close → Closed

The 'Rule Breakers' (Irregular Words): Some words don't follow the -ed rule. You just have to memorize them:

  • Know becomes \rightarrow Knew
  • Run becomes \rightarrow Ran
  • Hit stays \rightarrow Hit

Quick Guide for A2: If you see a word like "arrested" or "closed", the story is telling you about something that already happened. If you see "is" or "are", it is happening right now.
