Learning
⚡ 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!
