Some jokes about death and race made people angry. Netflix cut some jokes from the show. They removed jokes about Melania Trump and the #MeToo movement.

⚡ The 'Past Action' Pattern

To reach A2, you need to describe things that already happened. Look at how this text uses Past Tense verbs to tell a story.

1. Regular Verbs (Add -ed) These are easy. Just add -ed to the end:

  • Like → Liked
  • Talk → Talked
  • Remove → Removed

2. Irregular Verbs (The 'Change' Words) Some words change completely. You must memorize these:

  • Say → Said
  • Lead → Led
  • Keep → Kept
  • Make → Made

3. The 'No' Action (Did not) To say something didn't happen, use did not + the normal verb:

  • Incorrect: They did not liked (X)
  • Correct: They did not like (✓)

Quick Tip: When you see "did not," the verb goes back to its simple, present form!
