⚡ The "Past Simple" Logic

Look at these words from the story:

  • closed
  • ordered
  • ate
  • went

What is happening here? These are actions that are finished. We use them to talk about things that happened yesterday, last month, or in the past.

Two ways to make these words:

  1. The Easy Way (Add -ed): Check \rightarrow Checked Close \rightarrow Closed Order \rightarrow Ordered

  2. The Special Way (Word changes): Eat \rightarrow Ate Go \rightarrow Went

Quick Tip for A2: If you see -ed at the end of a verb, the action is likely over. If the word looks completely different (like go becoming went), it is an 'irregular' word you just have to memorize!
