⏳ The "Past" Story-Telling Pattern

To reach A2, you need to tell a story about things that already happened. In this article, we see a pattern: Subject + Action-ed.

Look at these examples:

  • Man died
  • He fell
  • Police found
  • Band played

The Trick: Most simple actions in English just add -ed to the end to move from 'now' to 'before'.

Finish (Now) \rightarrow Finished (Then) Thank (Now) \rightarrow Thanked (Then)

The Weird Ones (Irregular): Some words change completely. You must memorize these as 'special' words:

  • Wake up \rightarrow Woke up (Article uses did not wake up because 'did' already shows the past)
  • Go \rightarrow Went
  • Hear \rightarrow Heard

Quick Logic: If you see -ed, it is usually a finished action. If you see did not, the action word stays in its basic form.
