Vocabulary Learning
🌩️ The "Past Action" Pattern
To reach A2, you must describe things that already happened. Look at these words from the text:
- Had (from have)
- Stopped (from stop)
- Broke (from break)
- Moved (from move)
How it works: Most words just add -ed to the end to go into the past (Stop → Stopped). Some words are "rebels" and change completely (Break → Broke).
A2 Pro Tip: Using "There was/were" When describing a scene or a situation in the past:
- Use There was for one thing → There was a lot of rain.
- Use There were for many things → There were warnings.
