The "Action-Past" Secret
To reach A2, you must tell stories about things that already happened. Most words in this story end in -ed. This is the easiest way to talk about the past.
Look at these changes:
- Attack Attacked
- Fight Fighted (Wait! This is a trick. In English, we say Fought)
- Destroy Destroyed
- Stop Stopped
The Pattern: If you see -ed, the action is finished. It is not happening now.
Quick Tip for Beginners: When you see words like "started," "destroyed," or "happened," imagine a clock moving backward. These are "Past Action" words.
