🕵️ The 'Past' Story Pattern

To talk about things that already happened (like a crime), we change the action word. Look at these changes from the story:

  • Steal \rightarrow Stole
  • Use \rightarrow Used
  • Break \rightarrow Broke
  • Give \rightarrow Gave
  • Say \rightarrow Said

💡 Simple Rule: Most words just need a -ed at the end (Used). But some are 'special' and change their whole shape (Stole, Gave).

📍 Spotting the Difference:

  • Now: They use tools.
  • Before: They used tools.

🌍 Useful Words for A2:

  • Worth: How much money something is. (The jewelry is worth 88 million)
  • Maybe: When you are not 100% sure. (Maybe it is in Paris)
