🕒 The 'Past' Story Pattern
To tell a story in English, we often change the end of the action word (the verb) to -ed. This tells us it already happened.
See how it works:
- Arrest Arrested
- Attack Attacked
- Stop Stopped
⚠️ The 'Rule Breakers' (Irregular Verbs) Some words are rebels. They don't use -ed. You must memorize these special changes:
| Now | Then (Past) |
|---|---|
| Drive | Drove |
| Hit | Hit (No change!) |
| Run | Ran |
| Take | Took |
💡 Pro Tip for A2: When you see words like "drove" or "ran", you know the story is moving backward in time. If you see "arrested" or "stopped", the same thing is happening, just with a different spelling rule.
