πŸ•°οΈ The 'Past' Pattern

To reach A2, you must tell stories about things that already happened. Look at these words from the text:

  • Lived (Live β†’ Lived)
  • Walked (Walk β†’ Walked)
  • Helped (Help β†’ Helped)

The Secret Rule: Just add -ed to the end of the action word to move it from 'now' to 'before'.

⚑ The 'No' Pattern (Past)

When we want to say someone did not do something in the past, we use a special helper word:

Did not + [Base Action]

  • Example: He did not have a phone. β†’\rightarrow (Not "did not had")
