🕒 The 'Past Action' Pattern

In this story, everything already happened. To talk about the past, we often just add -ed to the action word.

Look at these changes:

  • look \rightarrow looked
  • open \rightarrow opened
  • use \rightarrow used

Wait! Some words are 'Rebels' (Irregular): They don't follow the -ed rule. You must memorize them as they are:

  • go \rightarrow went
  • wear \rightarrow wore
  • find \rightarrow found

Quick Guide for A2: If you see a word like 'found' or 'went', the event is finished. If you see '-ed', it is also finished.

Example: "Firefighters opened windows" (Action complete \checkmark)
