🐻 The 'Action' Pattern

In this story, everything is about what happened. To reach A2, you need to move from just naming things to describing actions in the past.

Look at the change:

  • Now \rightarrow Past
  • Run \rightarrow Ran
  • Hurt \rightarrow Hurt (stays the same!)
  • Go \rightarrow Went

Why this matters: Notice how the writer uses these words to tell a sequence of events. Attacked \rightarrow Went inside \rightarrow Opened \rightarrow Unlocked.

Simple Logic: 'Not' in the Past When something didn't happen, we don't change the action word. We use did not + base word:

  • did not worked \rightarrow did not work
  • could not used \rightarrow could not use

Vocabulary Jump: Instead of saying 'The bear is bad,' use 'Dangerous'. Instead of 'The bear is clever,' use 'Smart'.
