The "Past Action" Pattern

Look at how the story tells us what happened. Most words end in -ed. This is how we talk about yesterday or last year.

The Pattern: Word + ed = Finished Action

Examples from the text:

  • hurt → (special word, stays the same)
  • try → tried
  • stop → stopped
  • escaped
  • helped

Wait! Some words change completely: Some words are "rebels" and don't use -ed. You just have to memorize them:

  • drive → drove
  • do → did
  • take → took
  • give → gave

Quick Summary for A2: If you want to say something happened in the past, try adding -ed. If that sounds wrong, check if it is a "rebel" word like drove or gave.
