⚡️ The 'Action' Pattern
In this story, we see how to describe things that happened in the past. We use simple words to tell a story.
Look at these changes:
- Say Said
- Tell Told
- Hit Hit (stays the same!)
- Stop Stopped
Why this helps you reach A2: To move from A1 to A2, you must stop talking only about now and start talking about yesterday.
Real examples from the text:
- "The worker said Singh and his father hit him."
- "He told the police this after he stopped working."
💡 Quick Tip: When you see a word ending in -ed, it usually means the action is finished.
Example: Work Worked "A man who worked in his house."
