💡 The 'Past Story' Pattern

When we tell a story about something that already happened, we change the action words. Look at these changes from the text:

  • Arrest \to Arrested
  • Hit \to Hit (stays the same!)
  • Tell \to Told
  • Say \to Said

Why this matters for A2: To move past the beginner level, you must stop using only the present.

Quick Guide:

  1. Most words just need -ed at the end (Arrest \to Arrested).
  2. Some words are 'rebels' and change completely (Tell \to Told).

Real-world use: Instead of saying "I go to school" (now), you say "I went to school" (yesterday).
