The "Past Action" Secret
Look at these words from the text: died, broke, arrested, drank.
These words tell us something happened before now. To reach A2, you need to know that most English words just add -ed to go to the past.
The Simple Pattern:
- Arrest Arrested
- Crash Crashed
The Rule-Breakers (Irregular): Some words change completely. You must memorize these because they don't follow the pattern:
- Drink Drank
- Break Broke
Quick Tip: When you see "-ed", think "Yesterday".
