⚑ The 'Past Action' Pattern

Look at these words from the story:

  • left (from leave)
  • shot (from shoot)
  • asked (from ask)

When we talk about things that already happened, we change the ending of the word or use a special new word.

Simple Rule: Most words just need -ed at the end. Example: Ask β†’ Asked

The Tricksters: Some words change completely. You just have to memorize these! Example: Leave β†’ Left

πŸ‘€ Who is doing what?

In A2 English, we keep the order simple: Person β†’\rightarrow Action β†’\rightarrow Thing/Place

  • Senator Ronald β†’\rightarrow left β†’\rightarrow the building.
  • The police β†’\rightarrow cannot find β†’\rightarrow Ronald.
