🕒 The 'Past' Pattern
To move to A2, you must see how we talk about things that already happened. Look at these words from the story:
- Happened (from happen)
- Broke (from break)
- Died (from die)
- Used (from use)
- Sold (from sell)
The Simple Rule: Most words just add -ed at the end → Used, Happened.
But some words are 'rebels' and change completely → Break becomes Broke / Sell becomes Sold.
