πŸ•°οΈ The "Past Action" Pattern

To move from A1 to A2, you need to describe things that already happened. Look at these words from the story:

  • Work β†’ Worked
  • Use β†’ Used

The Simple Rule: For most words, just add -ed at the end to move the action to the past.

⚠️ The "Rule Breakers"

Some words are rebels. They don't use -ed. You must memorize them as they are:

  • Find β†’ Found
  • Take β†’ Took
  • Steal β†’ Stole
  • Kill β†’ Killed (This one follows the rule!)

Example from text: "He stole money" (Not: He stealed money).
