🏁 The "Action-Past" Pattern

Look at these words from the story: won, returned, took, made, had, finished, crashed, hit, visited.

These are all Past Simple verbs. We use them to talk about things that are already finished.

The Secret Rule: Most words just add -ed to the end (The "Easy" words):

  • Visit \rightarrow Visited
  • Finish \rightarrow Finished
  • Crash \rightarrow Crashed

But some words change completely (The "Rebel" words):

  • Win \rightarrow Won
  • Take \rightarrow Took
  • Have \rightarrow Had

Quick Example:

  • Today: I win the race. (Incorrect for past)
  • Yesterday: I won the race. (Correct!)

A2 Tip: When you tell a story about a race or a trip, stick to this pattern: Person \rightarrow Past Verb \rightarrow Thing.
