⚡️ The 'Action' Pattern

Look at how the story tells us what happened. In A2 English, we use a simple formula: Who \to Did What \to To Whom/What.

  • The goalkeeper \to threw \to a ball
  • Senator Amarilla \to wrote \to bad things
  • People \to burned \to a doll

💡 Simple Tip: To talk about the past, most words just need -ed at the end:

  • Sign \to Signed
  • Burn \to Burned

⚠️ Watch out! Some words are 'rebels' and change completely. You just have to memorize these:

  • Win \to Won
  • Say \to Said
