🕒 The 'Past' Trick
To reach A2, you must describe things that already happened. Look at how the story changes words to show the past:
- Find Found
- Disappear Disappeared
- Delete Deleted
- Write Wrote
The Simple Rule: Most of the time, just add -ed to the end of the word.
The 'Rule-Breakers' (Irregular): Some words change completely. You just have to memorize them:
- Find becomes Found
- Write becomes Wrote
- Say becomes Said
Quick Example:
- Today: I write a letter.
- Yesterday: I wrote a letter.
