🚩 Action Words (Past vs. Now)

In this story, we see a big change in time. To reach A2, you must see how words change when things already happened.

The Past (Finished)

  • Attack \rightarrow Attacked
  • Disappear \rightarrow Disappeared
  • Become \rightarrow Became (Special change!)
  • Break \rightarrow Broke (Special change!)

The Now (Current)

  • Are fighting (Happening right now)
  • Do not agree (Current feeling)
  • Is closed (Current state)

💡 Simple Rule: Most words just add -ed to go back in time. But some words are "rebels" (like become \rightarrow became) and change their whole shape. Watch for those rebels!
