Vocabulary Learning
⚡️ THE 'PAST' SWITCH
In this story, we see words that tell us things already happened. For A2, you need to recognize the -ed ending.
How it works: Normal word → Past word Play → Played Stay → Stayed Talk → Talked
⚠️ THE 'RULE BREAKERS'
Some words don't follow the -ed rule. You must memorize these 'special' changes:
- Give Gave
- Win Won
💡 QUICK TIP: Negative Past
To say 'no' in the past, use did not + the normal word.
- Correct: They did not play.
- Wrong: They did not played.
(Notice how the -ed disappears when 'did not' arrives!)
