⚡ THE ACTION PATTERN: Past Events

To talk about things that already happened (like in the news), we often add -ed to the action word.

Look at these changes:

  • fight → fighted (❌ Incorrect) → fought (✅ Special word)
  • attack → attacked
  • burn → burned
  • march → marched

💡 Quick Tip for A2: If the word is regular, just add -ed. If it is a 'special' word (like fight or go), you must memorize the new form.


🌍 WHO and WHERE

Notice how the text connects people to places:

  • A man from Sudan
  • People in Belfast
  • Groups in Liverpool

Pattern: [Person] + from + [Country] \rightarrow Origin [Person] + in + [City] \rightarrow Location


⚠️ WORD ALERT: 'Some' vs 'Many'

  • Many (Big group): Many people fought.
  • Some (Small/Unknown group): Some people said...
