The 'Past' Power-Up

To move from A1 to A2, you need to talk about things that already happened. Look at how the text changes words to show the past:

  • is (now) \rightarrow was (past)
  • spend (now) \rightarrow spent (past)
  • have (now) \rightarrow had (past)

Quick Tip: Most words just add -ed (like miss \rightarrow missed), but the 'power' words above change completely. Memorize these changes to tell your own stories!
