⚡ The 'Action' Chain

Look at how the story moves. It uses simple words to show one thing happening after another. This is how you tell a story at A2 level.

The Pattern: Action 1 \rightarrow Action 2 \rightarrow Action 3

Example from text:

  • Hit a wall \rightarrow Hit another car \rightarrow 25 cars crashed
  • Climbed over fences \rightarrow Went onto the track \rightarrow Talked to driver

Quick Rule: The 'Past' Shape Most action words here have a specific ending to show the event is finished:

  • Stop \rightarrow Stopped
  • Climb \rightarrow Climbed
  • Talk \rightarrow Talked
  • Arrest \rightarrow Arrested

Special Changes (Irregular): Some words change their middle, not their end:

  • Run \rightarrow Ran
  • Go \rightarrow Went
  • Hit \rightarrow Hit (stays the same!)
  • Catch \rightarrow Caught
