⚡ The 'Action' Word

Look at how the story tells us what happened. We use simple words to describe actions in the past.

The Pattern: Now → Then

  • Look (Now) \rightarrow Looked (Then)
  • Make (Now) \rightarrow Made (Then)
  • Say (Now) \rightarrow Said (Then)

Why this matters for A2: To tell a story or report news, you must change the action word.

  • Incorrect: "He make a sign." (This sounds like he does it every day).
  • Correct: "He made a sign." (This happened one time in the past).

Quick Guide:

  • Regular: Just add -ed (Look \rightarrow Looked).
  • Irregular: The word changes completely (Say \rightarrow Said / Make \rightarrow Made).
