Vocabulary Learning
🕒 Talking About the Past
In this story, we see words that tell us something already happened. To move to A2, you need to recognize these 'past' versions of words.
The Pattern: Most of the time, we just add -ed to the end of the action word.
- Play Played
- Score Scored
- Try Tried
The 'Rule Breakers': Some words change completely. You must memorize these because they don't follow the -ed rule:
- Win Won
- Lose Lost
- Hit Hit (This one stays the same!)
Quick Tip: When you see -ed or won/lost, you know the story is about yesterday, last year, or a finished game.
