The 'Past Action' Pattern

Look at these words from the story:

  • Arrested
  • Killed
  • Went
  • Found
  • Lived

What is happening here? These are actions that are finished. To talk about the past in English, we often just add -ed to the end of the word.

The Regular Path: Live → Lived Arrest → Arrested

The 'Rule-Breakers' (Irregular): Some words change completely. You just have to memorize these: Go → Went Find → Found

A2 Tip: If you see a sentence starting with "On Saturday" or "Yesterday," look for these types of words to understand that the story is over.
