🕒 Talking about the Past

In the story, we see words that tell us things already happened. This is the most important part of A2 English: The Past Simple.

Look at these changes:

  • Say \rightarrow Said
  • Look \rightarrow Looked
  • Finish \rightarrow Finished
  • Play \rightarrow Played
  • Lose \rightarrow Lost

Two Simple Rules:

  1. The Easy Way: Just add -ed to the end of the word. (Example: change \rightarrow changed)

  2. The Tricky Way: Some words change completely. You must memorize these. (Example: get \rightarrow got)

Quick Guide for the Student: If you see -ed, the action is finished. If the word looks totally different (like lost), it is still finished!
