🕒 The 'Past Story' Pattern
Look at how we tell things that already happened. We just add -ed to the action word.
- find → found (special change)
- kill → killed
- hurt → hurt (stays the same)
- run → ran (special change)
Why this helps you reach A2: To tell a story, you must move from the Now to the Then.
