Vocabulary Learning
⚡ THE 'ACTION' PAST
In this story, almost everything already happened. To talk about the past in English, we often just add -ed to the end of the word.
Look at these changes:
- Order Ordered
- Attack Attacked
- Help Helped
⚠️ THE TRICKY WORDS (Irregular)
Some words are 'rebels.' They do not follow the -ed rule. You must memorize these separately:
- Say Said (Not 'sayed')
- Die Died (Wait! This one actually follows the rule!)
- Be Was/Were
💡 QUICK TIP: WHO vs. WHAT
Notice how the text describes people and things:
- People: Senator Rand Paul, General Donovan, survivors.
- Things: Boat, drugs, Caribbean.
When you want to say someone is doing something, use:
Person + Action-ed + Thing
(Example: General Donovan ordered the attack.)
