πŸ•’ The 'Past' Pattern

Look at these words from the story:

  • had β†’\rightarrow (have)
  • checked β†’\rightarrow (check)
  • worked β†’\rightarrow (work)
  • wanted β†’\rightarrow (want)
  • paid β†’\rightarrow (pay)

The Secret: When we talk about things that already happened (like May 9 and 10), we change the action word.

Easy Rule: Most words just need an -ed at the end. Example: Check β†’\rightarrow Checked.

Some words are 'rebels' and change completely. Example: Pay β†’\rightarrow Paid.

πŸ“¦ Grouping Things (Quantities)

How to describe 'how many' using numbers:

  • Big numbers: 69,683 cars β†’\rightarrow (A lot of cars)
  • People: 3,645 officers β†’\rightarrow (Many officers)
  • Money: 2.65 crore rupees β†’\rightarrow (A high fine)

A2 Tip: To move from A1 to A2, stop saying 'some' and start using the exact number or words like 'many' and 'fewer'.
