⚡ The 'Action' Pattern
Look at these sentences from the text:
- Zuckerberg sent a letter.
- Bezos had dinner.
- The President said no.
The Secret: To talk about things that already happened, we change the action word (the verb).
How it works: Most words just need an -ed at the end, but some are 'rule-breakers.'
| Now (Present) | Then (Past) | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Want | Wanted | Regular ✅ |
| Like | Liked | Regular ✅ |
| Send | Sent | Rule-breaker ❌ |
| Have | Had | Rule-breaker ❌ |
| Say | Said | Rule-breaker ❌ |
A2 Quick Tip: When you see a person's name + a past action word (like Trump laughed), you are telling a story about the past.
Example: I want coffee I wanted coffee.
