πŸ•’ The 'Past Time' Bridge

In this text, we see how to talk about things that are finished. To reach A2, you need to see the difference between regular and irregular actions.

1. Regular Actions (The +ed pattern) Most words just add "ed" to show the past:

  • stop β†’\rightarrow stopped
  • lie β†’\rightarrow lied

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

  • say β†’\rightarrow said
  • give β†’\rightarrow gave

3. The 'Not' Pattern When we say something did not happen, we use did not + the normal word:

  • He did not like (NOT: did not liked)

Quick Focus: 'Was' vs 'Were'

  • One person: He was in a relationship.
  • Many people: They were angry.
