⚡ The 'Action' Pattern
In this text, we see a pattern for talking about the past. It is very simple: Subject + Verb (Past).
Look at these examples:
- He worked for Al Jazeera.
- A drone hit his house.
- He died.
How to use it: To talk about things that finished, we often add -ed to the end of the word.
- Work → Worked*
- Die → Died*
Special Case: Some words change completely or stay the same.
- Hit → Hit (No change!)
Quick Rule: If you want to say something happened yesterday or last year, use these 'Past' forms.
Comparison: Now: He works → Past: He worked → Result: He is no longer there.
