🕒 Talking about the Past

In this story, almost every action happened in the past. To tell a story at an A2 level, you need to change the action word (verb).

The Basic Pattern: Most words just need -ed at the end.

  • Stop \rightarrow Stopped*
  • Pull \rightarrow Pulled*
  • Panic \rightarrow Panicked*

The Rule Breakers: Some words change completely. You must memorize these because they don't follow the -ed rule:

  • See \rightarrow Saw*
  • Think \rightarrow Thought*
  • Die \rightarrow Died* (Wait! This one is regular!)
  • Go (get off) \rightarrow Got*

Why this matters: If you say "People see smoke," it sounds like it is happening right now. If you say "People saw smoke," we know it is a story from the past.
