🏁 The 'Past' Pattern

Look at these words from the story:

  • Started
  • Hit
  • Finished
  • Won
  • Became

What is happening? These words tell us about things that are already over. To move to A2, you need to notice that some words just add -ed (started, finished), while others change completely (win → won).

🛠️ Simple Connections

We use small words to change the direction of a sentence.

But = Surprise/Change

  • Example: He started first but he had to stop. (Expected: He wins. Reality: He stops.)

And = Adding more

  • Example: Hamilton and Colapinto hit each other. (Two people, one action.)
