🕒 Talking about the Past

In this story, most things already happened. To do this in English, we usually add -ed to the end of the action word.

How it works:

  • Show → Showed*
  • Stop → Stopped*
  • Escap → Escaped*

The 'Rule Breakers' (Irregular Words): Some words change completely. You must memorize these:

  • Say → Said
  • Die → Died (Wait, this one follows the rule!)
  • Go → Went
  • Find → Found

Quick Guide for A2:

  • Present: I help the police.
  • Past: I helped the police.

Negative Past (The 'Did Not' Trick): When we say something didn't happen, we use did not + the normal word. We do NOT add -ed here.

He did not said (Wrong) ✅ He did not say (Correct) → The 'did' already tells us it is the past!
