🕒 The 'Past' Secret

Look at these words from the story:

  • died
  • killed
  • worked
  • walked

What is happening? Most of these words end in -ed. When we see -ed, it means the action is finished. It happened yesterday, last week, or a long time ago.

The Pattern: Action + -ed \rightarrow Finished Action

Examples from the text:

  • Work \rightarrow Worked (He is not working now; he did it before).
  • Walk \rightarrow Walked (The walk is over).

🦁 Who does what?

In English, the person or animal comes first, then the action.

Lionextkilledextman\text{Lion} \rightarrow ext{killed} \rightarrow ext{man}

Officersextsawextbody\text{Officers} \rightarrow ext{saw} \rightarrow ext{body}

This is the simplest way to build a sentence in A2 English: Who \rightarrow Did What \rightarrow To Whom.
