🧩 The 'Action' Pattern

In this text, we see a very simple way to describe things happening.

The Secret: WhoDid WhatTo Whom/What

Look at these examples from the text:

  • Israeli drones (Who) \rightarrow killed (Did what) \rightarrow two Palestinians (Whom).
  • Settlers (Who) \rightarrow took (Did what) \rightarrow animals (What).
  • Soldiers (Who) \rightarrow broke (Did what) \rightarrow farm buildings (What).

🕒 Past Time Words

To talk about things that already happened, we change the action word. Most of these just add -ed at the end, but some are special (irregular).

Normal (+ed)Special (Changes)
Attack \rightarrow AttackedTake \rightarrow Took
Stop \rightarrow StoppedBreak \rightarrow Broke
Destroy \rightarrow DestroyedHit \rightarrow Hit (No change!)

A2 Tip: When you see these words, the event is finished. It is not happening right now.
