πŸ•’ The "Past Action" Pattern

Look at these words from the story:

  • crashed
  • died
  • left
  • hit
  • started

What is happening? These words tell us about things that are finished. In English, we often add -ed to the end of a word to move it from today to yesterday.

The Pattern: Now β†’\rightarrow Then

  • crash β†’\rightarrow crashed
  • start β†’\rightarrow started

The Rule-Breakers (Irregular): Some words are rebels. They change completely instead of adding -ed:

  • leave β†’\rightarrow left
  • hit β†’\rightarrow hit (stays the same!)
  • die β†’\rightarrow died

Quick Guide for A2: If you want to talk about a news report or a memory, look for these "past" shapes.

Action + ed = It happened before now.
