Vocabulary Learning
🕒 THE 'PAST' TRICK
To talk about people who are no longer with us or things that already happened, we change the action word. Look at how the text does this:
- Study Studied
- Work Worked
- Start Started
The Rule: Just add -ed to the end of the word to move it to the past.
⚠️ THE REBELS (Words that change completely)
Some words don't follow the -ed rule. You just have to memorize them:
- Is/Am/Are Was
- Have Had
- Write Wrote
Example from text: "He wrote a book" (Not writed).
