🕰️ Talking About the Past

To reach A2, you need to move from 'now' to 'before'. Look at how the story changes verbs to show things already happened:

  • Live \rightarrow Lived (She lived in Killarney)
  • Find \rightarrow Found (Police found her body)
  • Die \rightarrow Died (She died on July 6)
  • Fly \rightarrow Flew (He flew to Turkey)

The Secret Rule: Most words just add -ed at the end to go back in time. Some words are "rebels" and change completely (like fly \rightarrow flew).
