💡 The 'Past Action' Secret
To move from A1 to A2, you need to talk about things that already happened. Look at how this story changes words to show the past:
The Pattern: Just add -ed
- cause caused
- shout shouted
- arrest arrested
- stop stopped*
*Watch out! Some words are 'rebels' and change completely. You just have to remember them:
- go went
- say said
- have had
- feel felt
Quick Rule for A2: If you want to tell a story about yesterday or last year, use these 'past' versions of the words.
Example: "I go to school" (Every day/Present) "I went to school" (Yesterday/Past)
