Vocabulary Learning
⚽ Talking About the Past
In this story, we see a simple pattern for describing things that already happened.
The 'ED' Rule Most action words just need -ed at the end to move from 'now' to 'yesterday':
- Play → Played
- Start → Started
- Talk → Talked
The Rebels (Irregular Words) Some words don't follow the rule. You just have to memorize them:
- Win → Won
- Say → Said
- Write → Wrote
Saying 'No' in the Past To say something didn't happen, we use did not + the normal word.
Example: Ronaldo did not play well. (Notice: We don't say 'did not played'. The 'did' already tells us it is the past!)
Quick Summary List:
- Past Success: Portugal won 5-0.
- Past Failure: The game was not great.
