In the story, we see words that tell us things already happened. This is key for A2 English.
The 'ED' Pattern When we talk about things that finished, we often add -ed to the action word:
- Live Lived*
- Play Played*
The 'Change' Words Some words are rebels! They don't use -ed. They change their whole shape:
- Get Got*
- Be Was*

To describe someone, use: [Person] + [is/was] + [Word]
