Later, he told the police he touched her. In the UK, police arrested a 19-year-old man. He was at a Sainsbury's store. He touched people on a moving staircase.

πŸ•’ The 'Happened' Action

In this story, everything is in the Past. To tell a story about something that finished, we often add -ed to the word.

Look at these changes:

  • Arrest β†’\rightarrow Arrested
  • Touch β†’\rightarrow Touched
  • Move β†’\rightarrow Moved

Wait! Some words are rebels. They don't use -ed. They change completely:

  • Is β†’\rightarrow Was
  • Tell β†’\rightarrow Told
  • Find β†’\rightarrow Found

Quick Guide for A2: If you want to talk about yesterday or last week, look for the -ed ending. If the word is irregular (like was or told), you just have to memorize it!
