The 'Past Story' Pattern
When we tell a story about something that happened and finished, we often add -ed to the action word.
Look at these examples from the text:
- Disappear Disappeared
- Want Wanted
- Delete Deleted
- Check Checked
The Simple Rule: If you want to talk about yesterday or last week, just put -ed at the end of the word. It tells the listener: "This is over now."
Watch out! Some words are 'rebels' and change completely. They don't use -ed.
- Go Went (Not "goed")
- Find Found (Not "finded")
Quick Guide for A2:
- Action + -ed = Finished action.
- Action is a 'rebel' = Learn the special word (like went).
