🛑 The 'Past Truth' Pattern
Look at how the story tells us what happened before. We use simple words to show the past:
- Work Worked
- Say Said
- Lie Lied
- Find Found
Why this matters for A2: To tell a story, you just add -ed to most action words. If the word is 'special' (like find), it changes completely (found).
Examples from the text:
- "David Rush worked for the CIA."
- "He said he was a pilot."
- "Police found gold bars."
Quick Tip: When you see -ed, think: This is already finished.
