⚡️ The 'Past' Action Trick

To move from A1 to A2, you need to talk about things that already happened. Look at how the story changes words to show the past:

  • Fall \rightarrow Fell (Something that happened once)
  • Go \rightarrow Went (Movement in the past)
  • Say \rightarrow Said (Speaking in the past)

💡 Quick Pattern: "The Word + ed"

Many words just need -ed at the end to go to the past. This is the easiest way to build A2 sentences:

  • Watch \rightarrow Watched
  • Listen \rightarrow Listened

Example from text: "The parents did not watch the child." \rightarrow (Wait! When we use did not, the word stays simple. No -ed here!)


🚩 Word Watch: 'Better'

In the text, it says: "The boy is better now."

Use Better when something was bad, but now it is good. \text{Sickness} \rightarrow ext{Medicine} \rightarrow ext{Better}$
