⚡ The 'Past' Pattern
To tell a story, we change the action word. Look at these changes from the text:
- Write Wrote
- Come Came
- Hit Hit (No change!)
- Fall Fell
The Simple Rule: Most words add -ed (like landed), but some are 'rebels' and change completely.
📏 Describing 'Too Much'
When something is a problem, use Too + Word:
- Too low (The height was a problem) $
- Too slow (The speed was a problem)
If you are A2, stop saying "very low" when you mean "it was a mistake." Use TOO.
