Learning
⚡ The 'Action' Pattern
Look at how the story tells us what happened. It uses simple past-tense words to move the story forward.
The Pattern: Subject → Action Word (Past) → The Rest
Examples from the text:
- A man → fainted → during the wedding.
- A guest → spilled → food on clothes.
- Police → arrested → seven people.
💡 A2 Tip: The '-ed' Rule Most of these words end in -ed. This is the easiest way to talk about yesterday or a finished story:
- Stop Stopped
- Want Wanted
- Punish Punished
⚠️ Watch out! Some words change completely. They don't use '-ed':
- Say Said
- Go Went
- Die Died (follows the rule, but look at the spelling!)
