🕵️ The "Action" Pattern

In this story, we see a lot of Past Actions. To reach A2, you need to know how to talk about things that already happened.

Look at these changes:

  • Steal → Stole (Apple says OpenAI stole secrets)
  • Use → Used (OpenAI used old workers)
  • Ask → Asked (A leader asked for batteries)
  • Lie → Lied (OpenAI lied to companies)

💡 Simple Rule: Most words just need an -ed at the end to go to the past. But some words are "rebels" and change their whole shape (like steal becoming stole).


🔑 Key Word Focus: "SECRET" This word appears everywhere! It describes something you do not tell other people.

  • Secret information \rightarrow 🤫
  • Secret batteries \rightarrow 🔋
  • Secret ways \rightarrow 🛠️

Quick Tip: Put the word "secret" before the thing you are talking about.
