✈️ Action Words in the Past

When we talk about things that already happened, we often add -ed to the word. Look at these examples from the story:

  • Search →\rightarrow Searched
  • Crash →\rightarrow Crashed
  • Disappear →\rightarrow Disappeared

The 'Odd' One Out: Some words don't follow the -ed rule. We call these 'special' words. In the text, we see:

  • Fly →\rightarrow Flew
  • Fall →\rightarrow Fell
  • Find →\rightarrow Found

Quick Tip for A2: If you see a word like found or flew, it means the action is finished. It is not happening right now.
