🕒 Talking about the Past

In the text, we see two ways to talk about things that already happened. This is the most important part for A2 learners to understand.

1. The 'Action' Word (Past Simple) When something happened and finished, we often add -ed to the word.

  • Hurt (Special word: stays the same)
  • Forced \rightarrow forced

2. The 'State' Word (Was/Were) We use was for one person to describe who they were before.

  • A man was a child actor.

Quick Guide: Now vs. Then

Crucial Note: Notice how the text uses "is suing" (now) but "hurt him in 2007" (past). Always look for the date to decide which word to use!
