🛑 The 'Action' Pattern

Look at how the story describes things happening. Notice the words used to show completed actions (things that already happened).

The Pattern:

  • Bank started a program.
  • People reported theft.
  • Man lost money.
  • Criminals used WhatsApp.

How it works for you: To talk about the past, we often add -ed to the word.

  • WorkWorked
  • ReportReported

The 'Rule Breakers' (Irregular): Some words change completely. You must memorize these:

  • LoseLost
  • SendSent
  • BelieveBelieved (This one follows the rule!)

Quick Summary: Present (Now) \rightarrow Past (Then)

  • I lose money \rightarrow I lost money.
  • They use a site \rightarrow They used a site.
