The 'Past Action' Pattern

Look at these words from the text:

  • Met (from meet)
  • Talked (from talk)
  • Put (stays the same)
  • Sent (from send)
  • Built (from build)
  • Argued (from argue)

How it works: When we talk about things that already happened (like the meeting in June), we change the action word. Most of the time, we just add -ed at the end.

Examples from the story: Talk → Talked Argue → Argued

Some are 'Rule Breakers' (Irregular): Meet → Met Build → Built

Quick Guide for A2: Now → Then I talk → I talked I meet → I met
