Learning

🚨 Talking about the Past

To reach A2, you need to change action words to show something happened yesterday or last year.

The Pattern: Add "-ed" Most words just need -ed at the end to move from now β†’ then.

  • Help β†’ Helped
  • Work β†’ Worked

The Rebels: Words that change completely Some words are special. You must memorize them because they don't follow the "-ed" rule:

  • Go β†’ Went (Example: A man went to prison)
  • Say β†’ Said (Example: The police say β†’\rightarrow The police said)
