⚡ The 'Past Action' Pattern

Look at how we describe things that already happened in the story. Most words just add -ed to the end.

The Pattern:

  • Talk → Talked
  • Start → Started
  • Play → Played

The 'Rule Breakers' (Irregular): Some words change completely. You must memorize these:

  • Go → Went
  • Win → Won
  • Give → Gave

Real Example from Text:

  • "The team went down" (Not 'goed')
  • "He only won five games" (Not 'winned')
  • "The club was a mess" (Special word for 'is' in the past)

Quick Tip for A2: If you see -ed, it usually means the action is finished. If the word looks totally different (like won or went), it is a special past word.
