🕒 Talking about the Past

In this story, we see words that end in -ed. This is how we talk about things that already happened.

The Pattern: Base Word \rightarrow Past Word

  • Live \rightarrow Lived*
  • Disappear \rightarrow Disappeared*
  • Look \rightarrow Looked*
  • Arrest \rightarrow Arrested*

🚨 The Exception (The 'Rule-Breakers') Some words don't follow the -ed pattern. You must memorize these:

  • Find \rightarrow Found*
  • Say \rightarrow Said*
  • Go \rightarrow Went*

💡 Pro Tip for A2: If you want to describe a completed action from yesterday or last month, check if the word is a 'Rule-Breaker' or if you can just add -ed.
