🏎️ The 'Past Action' Pattern
To move to A2, you need to describe things that already happened. Look at these words from the text:
- won (from win)
- had (from have)
- took (from take)
- gave (from give)
The Secret: These are 'irregular' words. They don't end in -ed. They change their whole shape to show the past.
Easy Comparison: Now → Then
- I have a car. I had a car.
- He wins the race. He won the race.
- She takes the lead. She took the lead.
Quick Tip: When you tell a story about yesterday or a race, use these 'changed' words to be clear.
