The 'Past' Secret

Look at these words from the story: talked, stayed, started, wanted.

The Pattern: When we talk about things that already happened, we often just add -ed to the end of the action word.

  • Talk \rightarrow Talked
  • Stay \rightarrow Stayed
  • Start \rightarrow Started

Why this matters for A2: If you can use this "-ed" trick, you can tell a whole story about your yesterday without needing a dictionary for every word.


One Special Case Sometimes the word changes completely.

  • See \rightarrow Saw
  • Do \rightarrow Did

Check the text: "Then he saw the smoke."
