⏳ The 'Past Story' Pattern
To reach A2, you must move from the present (I am) to the past (I was). Look at how this story changes the words to tell us what happened before:
The Pattern: Word + 'ed'
- start → started
- finish → finished*
The Pattern: Special Changes (Irregular)
- win → won
- become → became
- beat → beat (stays the same!)
💡 Quick Rule for A2 Learners When talking about a finished event (like a chess game in 2026), we don't say "He win." We say "He won."
Comparison: Now: He is number 11. Past: He was in last place.
