🌊 The 'Past Action' Pattern

To tell a story about things that already happened, we change the action word (verb). Look at how the words shift in this story:

  • Go \rightarrow Went (Example: "A man went into the lake")
  • Do \rightarrow Did (Example: "He did not know")
  • Want \rightarrow Wanted (Example: "They wanted to take photos")
  • Hit \rightarrow Hit (Note: Some words stay the same!)

Quick Guide for A2 Learners: If you see -ed at the end of a word (like wanted), it usually means it happened yesterday or a long time ago. If the word changes completely (like go to went), you just have to memorize that pair!
