⚡ The "Action" Secret

Look at how the story tells us what happened. The writer uses simple words that change slightly to show the past. This is the key to A2 English: Past Simple.

Spot the Pattern:

  • Beat → beat (The game is over)
  • Score → scored (The goal happened)
  • Stop → stopped (The bus was held)
  • Run → ran (They left quickly)

How it works: Most of the time, you just add -ed to the end of the word to move it from Now → Before.

The 'Rule Breakers' (Irregular): Some words are rebels. They change completely. You must memorize these:

  • Run → Ran
  • Say → Said

Quick Logic: If you see -ed, the action is finished. If you see ran or said, it's still finished, but the word is just special.
