⚡️ The 'Action' Word Secret

Look at these words from the text:

  • Won (from win)
  • Fought (from fight)
  • Pushed (from push)
  • Hit (from hit)

What is happening? These words tell us about things that already finished. In English, we change the action word to show the past.

The Pattern \rightarrow The Change

  • Most words just add -ed: Push \rightarrow Pushed
  • Some words are 'rebels' and change completely: Win \rightarrow Won / Fight \rightarrow Fought

Quick Guide for A2: If you want to talk about yesterday or a fight that is over, don't use the basic word. Use the 'past' version.

Example: "Sean Brady wins" (He does it often/now) \rightarrow "Sean Brady won" (It happened at UFC 328).
