🕰️ The 'Already Happened' Pattern

Look at these words from the text:

  • Arrested
  • Told
  • Raped
  • Went
  • Asked

These words all describe things that are finished.

The Secret Rule: To talk about the past, we often just add -ed to the end of the word.

  • Help →\rightarrow Helped
  • Ask →\rightarrow Asked
  • Arrest →\rightarrow Arrested

Watch Out! Some words are 'rebels' and change completely. You just have to remember them:

  • Go →\rightarrow Went
  • Tell →\rightarrow Told

🔍 Word Spotter: The 'The' Logic

In the article, we see:

  1. A famous TV chef (We don't know him yet →\rightarrow General)
  2. The man (Now we know which man we are talking about →\rightarrow Specific)

A →\rightarrow The (First time mentioning) →\rightarrow (Second time mentioning)
