⚡️ THE 'ACTION' PATTERN

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

The Pattern: Word + 'ed' Most words in this text use a simple ending to show the action is finished:

  • Attack → Attacked*
  • March → Marched*
  • Arrest → Arrested*
  • Close → Closed*

⚠️ The 'Rule-Breakers' Some words are 'rebels'. They don't use 'ed'. You must memorize these separately:

  • See → Saw
  • Fight → Fought

💡 Quick Tip for A2 When you want to tell a story about yesterday or last year, look at your verb. If it is a normal action, just add -ed. If it is a special word like 'fight', it changes completely → fought.
