🕒 The "Past Action" Pattern

Look at these words from the story: killed, found, searched, talked, sent, drove.

These are all actions that are finished. To tell a story in English, we usually add -ed to the end of the word.

The Simple Rule:

  • Walk → Walked
  • Search → Searched
  • Talk → Talked

The "Rule Breakers" (Irregular): Some words change completely. You just have to remember them:

  • Find → Found
  • Send → Sent
  • Drive → Drove

How to use this to reach A2: Stop using "is" for everything. If it happened yesterday, use the past form.

  • Wrong: He is kill her. (❌)
  • Right: He killed her. (✅)
