⚡️ The "Action-Past" Pattern

To reach A2, you must move from talking about now to talking about before. Look at these words from the text:

  • Stopped (Stop → Stopped)
  • Attacked (Attack → Attacked)
  • Planned (Plan → Planned)

The Secret Rule: When you want to say something happened yesterday or years ago, just add -ed to the end of the action word.

Examples from the story:

  • They stopped their agreement. \rightarrow It is finished.
  • The USA attacked buildings. \rightarrow It happened in the past.

Watch out! Some words are "rebels" and don't follow the -ed rule.

  • Say becomes \rightarrow Said
  • Kill becomes \rightarrow Killed (This one follows the rule!)
