✈️ Past Action Patterns

In this story, we see how to describe things that already happened. We use specific 'past' words to tell the story.

The 'Finished' Word List

  • died (not die)
  • fell (not fall)
  • landed (not land)
  • lost (not lose)

How it works → Most of the time, you just add -ed to the end of the action word to move it to the past: landlanded askasking (happening now) → asked (happened before)

The 'Rule Breakers' Some words change completely. You must memorize these:

  • Fall becomes fell
  • Lose becomes lost

Example from text: "The farmer lost 500 euros." (The money is gone now because the action happened in the past.)
