🛠️ The "Past Action" Pattern

Look at how the story describes things that already happened. To move to A2, you must notice how verbs change to show the past.

The Change List:

  • crash → crashed
  • hit → hit (no change!)
  • catch → caught
  • help → helped
  • use → used
  • go → went

💡 Simple Rule: Most words just need -ed at the end to move to the past. But some are "rebels" (irregular) and change completely, like go → went.

Connecting Words for a Story: To make your English sound smoother, use these markers found in the text:

Then →\rightarrow (Next thing that happened) *Example: "The plane hit a car. Then the plane caught fire."

Now →\rightarrow (What is happening at this moment) *Example: "The police are now studying the crash."
