🕰️ Time-Traveling Verbs

Look at how we talk about things that already happened. We just add -ed to the end of the action word.

The Pattern: Action → Past Action

  • arrest →\rightarrow arrested
  • talk →\rightarrow talked
  • work →\rightarrow work**ed*

Wait! Some words are rebels. They don't follow the -ed rule. You just have to memorize them:

  • steal →\rightarrow stole
  • give →\rightarrow gave

  • buy →\rightarrow bought

Quick Tip for A2: If you see "did not", the action word goes back to its normal, present shape.
