💡 The 'Action' Pattern

Look at how we describe things that happened in the past. We just add -ed to the end of the word.

  • Stay \rightarrow Stayed*
  • Want \rightarrow Wanted*
  • Change \rightarrow Changed*

Why this matters for A2: When you tell a story about yesterday or last year, use this simple ending.

Example from text: "One officer stayed in the same job."


🛠️ Useful 'Must' Words

When a rule is very strong, we use MUST. You don't need to change the word after it.

  • Must change \rightarrow (No choice)
  • Must wear \rightarrow (No choice)
  • Must sit \rightarrow (No choice)

Quick Tip: Use Must for laws, school rules, or boss's orders.
