🎩 The 'Action' Pattern

Look at how we describe people doing things in the past. We simply change the word to show it already happened.

  • ComeCame (The King came)
  • ArriveArrived (Stanley arrived)
  • SitSat (He sat)
  • WearWore (Women wore hats)

Quick Rule: If you see these words, the event is finished.

Example: "The King came on Thursday" means he is not arriving now; he was already there.
