Princess Eugenie Posts Online Again
Introduction
Princess Eugenie posted a photo for her husband's 40th birthday. This is her first post since the police arrested her father in February.
Main Body
Princess Eugenie did not post online for a long time. She only went to two parties. She stayed away because of news about her parents and a bad man named Jeffrey Epstein. Documents say her mother, Sarah Ferguson, helped her daughters meet Epstein in 2009. The documents also say Sarah Ferguson asked Epstein for money for her house. In February, the police arrested her father, Andrew. They think he gave secret papers to Epstein. Andrew says he did nothing wrong, but the police are still checking.
Conclusion
Princess Eugenie is now using social media again. However, her father still has legal problems.

🕒 Talking about the Past
In this story, most things already happened. To tell a story about the past, we often add -ed to the action word.
Look at these changes:
- post posted*
- arrest arrested
- stay stayed
Note: "post" is special; it only needs a "-ed" because it already ends in a consonant sound, but "posted" is the standard past form here.
The 'No' Rule (Negative Past) When we want to say something did not happen, we use did not + the normal action word. We do NOT add -ed here.
Wrong: She did not posted. Right: She did not post.
Quick Word List for A2:
- Since: From a specific time in the past until now.
