To reach A2, you must know how to tell a story about things that already happened. In this text, we see a pattern: The Simple Past.
How it works: Most words just add -ed at the end to show the action is finished.
- Check → Checked
- Stop → Stopped
The 'Rule Breakers' (Irregular): Some words change completely. You must memorize these because they are very common:
- Is/Are → Was/Were (Example: He was 38 years old)
- Die → Died (Regular, but important for this story)
- Do → Did (Example: Prateek did not work)
Quick Guide for Negatives: When you want to say 'No' in the past, use did not + the normal word.
