πŸ›‘ Action Words in the Past

When we talk about things that already happened, we often add -ed to the end of the word. This is a fast way to move from A1 to A2 English.

Look at these changes:

  • Stop β†’ Stopped
  • Arrest β†’ Arrested
  • Kidnap β†’ Kidnapped
  • Ask β†’ Asked

Why this matters: If you say "Police stop criminals," it sounds like they do it every day. If you say "Police stopped criminals," it means it happened yesterday or last week.


🚨 The 'Odd' Ones (Irregular) Some words are rebels. They do not follow the -ed rule. You just have to remember them:

  • Steal β†’ Stole
  • Hurt β†’ Hurt (Stayed the same!)
  • Wear β†’ Wore

Quick Guide:

  • Regular: Add -ed β†’\rightarrow Stopped
  • Irregular: Change the whole word β†’\rightarrow Stole
