The 'Past Story' Pattern
When we talk about someone's life, we use a special version of verbs to show it happened before now. Look at how the words change in the text:
- Become Became (Something started)
- Have Had (Possession or experience)
- Wake up Woke up (Ending a sleep)
- Change Changed (A difference happened)
The Simple Rule: Most words just add -ed at the end (like changed), but some 'rule-breaker' words change their middle letters (like wake to woke).
Useful Examples from the story:
- "She had a husband" (Now she does not).
- "She sang many songs" (This is the past of sing).
- "The Queen gave her a medal" (This is the past of give).
Quick Tip for A2: If you see a date like 1977 or 2013, you must use these 'Past Story' words!
