Learning

🛑 The "Past Action" Secret

Look at these words from the story:

  • tried
  • died
  • wanted
  • arrested

The Simple Rule: To talk about things that already happened, we often just add -ed to the end of the action word.

Example from the text: The police arrested 11 people. (Arrest →\rightarrow Arrested)

Wait! Some are "Rule Breakers": Some words change completely. They don't use -ed.

  • See →\rightarrow Saw
  • Become →\rightarrow Became

How to use this for A2: If you want to tell a story about yesterday, check if the word is a "Rule Follower" (-ed) or a "Rule Breaker" (Special word).
