The 'Action' Switch

In this story, players move from one place to another. To describe this at an A2 level, we use Past Simple verbs.

Look at how the words change when something already happened:

  • Choose \rightarrow Chose
  • Go \rightarrow Went
  • Leave \rightarrow Left

Why this matters: If you say "He choose Notre Dame," it sounds like it happens every day. If you say "He chose Notre Dame," we know the decision is finished.

Quick Pattern: Person + Past Action + Place

  • James Armstrong + chose + Penn State.
  • Sam Leavitt + went + to LSU.
