Learning

⚡ The 'Past Action' Pattern

Look at how we talk about things that already happened. We take a basic action word and add -ed.

The Pattern: Action →\rightarrow Action + ed

From the story:

  • Raise →\rightarrow Raised
  • Protest →\rightarrow Protested

⚠️ The Rule Breakers

Some words are 'rebels.' They don't follow the -ed rule. You must memorize these because they change completely.

  • Wear →\rightarrow Wore (Beyoncé wore a dress)
  • Come →\rightarrow Came (Athletes came to the party)
  • Give →\rightarrow Gave (Jeff Bezos gave money)

💡 Quick Tip for A2

When you see 'did not', the action word goes back to its normal, present form.

❌ They did not brought... ✅ They did not bring...
