✈️ The 'Past' Story

Look at how we tell things that already happened. We often add -ed to the end of the action word.

  • Start →\rightarrow Started
  • Land →\rightarrow Landed

But be careful! Some words change completely. They are 'rule-breakers':

  • Go →\rightarrow Went
  • Have →\rightarrow Had
  • Hear →\rightarrow Heard
  • Break →\rightarrow Broke

Quick Tip for A2: If you want to say something didn't happen, use did not (or didn't) and use the original word.

  • Example: "Nobody was hurt" →\rightarrow "Nobody did not get hurt" (Though in this story, we use 'was' for the state of the people).
