🕒 The 'Past Story' Pattern

To move to A2, you need to talk about things that already happened. Look at these words from the text:

  • Happened (Something occurred)
  • Stole (Took something without asking)
  • Went (Moved from A to B)
  • Fell (Dropped down)
  • Closed (Stopped entry)

The Simple Secret: Most English words just add -ed to the end to show the past (Closed \rightarrow Closed). But some 'rebel' words change completely.

The Rebel List (Irregular): Go \rightarrow Went Fall \rightarrow Fell Steal \rightarrow Stole


Quick Logic Check:

  • Now: The car goes off the road. (Happening now)
  • Past: The car went off the road. (Happened Sunday)
