🔍 Spotting the 'Past' Pattern

Look at how the story describes things that already happened. To move to A2, you need to recognize these Action Words (Verbs) and how they change from the present to the past.

The Shift:

  • Say \rightarrow Said
  • Let \rightarrow Let (Stayed the same!)
  • Help \rightarrow Helped
  • See \rightarrow Saw
  • Make \rightarrow Made

Why this matters? In English, we often add -ed to the end of a word to show it is finished (like helped). But some words are "rebels" and change completely (like see becoming saw).

Simple Examples from the Text:

  • "The court said..." (Not say)
  • "The high court saw..." (Not see)
  • "The police said..." (Not say)

Quick Tip: If you see -ed, think: Yesterday or In the past.
