💡 The 'Action' Pattern

In this story, everything is about doing things. To reach A2, you need to know how to describe simple actions in the past.

Look at these words from the text:

  • found (find → found)
  • used (use → used)
  • stole (steal → stole)
  • attacked (attack → attacked)

The Rule of Thumb: Most English action words just need an -ed at the end to move from 'now' to 'yesterday'.

The 'Rebels' (Irregular Words): Some words change completely. You just have to memorize them:

  • Steal → Stole
  • Find → Found
