🕒 Talking about the Past

To reach A2, you must move from the present to the past. Look at how the story changes the action words:

  • See \rightarrow Saw (The woman saw a message)
  • Lie \rightarrow Lied (The men lied to her)
  • Tell \rightarrow Told (They told her to buy gold)
  • Take \rightarrow Took (The men took gold)

💡 The Pattern: Most words just add -ed (lied, arrested, stopped). But some are 'rebels' and change completely (saw, told, took).

Quick Tip: When you see a date like August 2025 or March 2026, your brain should automatically switch to these 'Past' words.
