Learning

⏱️ The "Past Time" Pattern

In this story, we see things that already happened. To talk about the past, we often add -ed to the action word.

Look at these changes:

  • Help → Helped
  • Name → Named

Special Words (The Rule-Breakers): Some words change completely. You just have to remember them:

  • Is/Are → Was/Were
  • Go → Went
  • Come → Came

Quick Examples from the Text:

  • The baby came very fast. (Not "come")
  • They went to the hospital. (Not "go")
  • The doctors helped her. (Action is finished → add -ed)

Key Tip for A2: When you see a date (February 25) or a time (3:10 am), the sentence usually needs these "Past" words.

Today →\rightarrow I am healthy. Yesterday →\rightarrow I was healthy.
