🛑 STOP & LOOK: The 'Past' Story
To get to A2, you need to tell stories about things that already happened. Look at how this text changes words to show the Past:
- Die Died
- Stay Stayed
- Find Found
The Secret Rule: Most words just need -ed at the end. But some words are 'rebels' and change completely (like Find Found).
🛠️ BUILDING BLOCKS: Simple Negatives
How do we say 'No' in the past? We use did not (or was not for descriptions).
| Fact | The 'No' Version |
|---|---|
| He had a record | He had no record |
| Papers were correct | Papers were not correct |
| Food was safe | Food was not safe |
Pro Tip: When you use did not, the action word goes back to its normal, present shape!
