The 'Past Action' Pattern

Look at these words from the story:

  • Stole
  • Happened
  • Moved
  • Caught
  • Played
  • Won

How it works: In English, when something is finished, we change the action word.

  1. The Regular Way: Just add -ed at the end.

    • Move \rightarrow Moved
    • Happen \rightarrow Happened
    • Play \rightarrow Played
  2. The Special Way: Some words change completely. You must memorize these!

    • Steal \rightarrow Stole
    • Catch \rightarrow Caught
    • Win \rightarrow Won

Quick Guide for A2: If you see -ed, it usually means the event is in the past. If the word looks strange (like won), check if it's a 'Special' past word.
