The 'Past Action' Pattern

Most of this story uses a simple pattern to tell us what happened. Look at these words:

  • Went →\rightarrow (Go)
  • Caught →\rightarrow (Catch)
  • Arrived →\rightarrow (Arrive)
  • Climbed →\rightarrow (Climb)
  • Walked →\rightarrow (Walk)
  • Found →\rightarrow (Find)

How it works: To tell a story about yesterday or last week, we change the action word.

Some words just add -ed at the end (Walk →\rightarrow Walked). Others change completely (Go →\rightarrow Went).

Key Example from text: "The man arrived at 4:00 AM." →\rightarrow This tells us the action is finished.
