🕒 The 'Past' Switch

To move from A1 to A2, you need to talk about things that already happened. Look at how the story changes verbs:

  • WinWon (The horse won the race)
  • RunRan (He ran very fast)
  • IsWas (Golden Tempo was behind)

The Secret Pattern: Most simple stories use these 'irregular' words. They don't follow the normal "-ed" rule.
