🚨 Action Words (Past Time)
When we tell a story about things that already happened, we change the action words. Look at how the words change from the story:
- Steal Stole
- Drive Drove
- Hit Hit (No change!)
- Catch Caught
- Find Found
Why this matters for A2: Most English words just add "-ed" (like used), but the most common words are "rebels." They change their whole shape.
