⚡ The 'Past Action' Secret

To reach A2, you must move from now to before. Look at how the story tells us what happened. Most words just add -ed to the end.

The Pattern:

  • Play → Played
  • Score → Scored
  • Stop → Stopped

⚠️ The Rebels (Irregular Words)

Some words refuse to follow the -ed rule. You simply have to memorize these common shifts:

  • Win becomes → Won
  • Do becomes → Did
  • Take becomes → Took

💡 Pro Tip: Negative Past

When something didn't happen, we use did not + the normal word.

  • Correct: The White Sox did not score.
  • Wrong: The White Sox did not scored.

(Once you use 'did', the main verb stays simple!)
