Vocabulary Learning
🕰️ The 'Past' Pattern
In this story, most things already happened. To talk about the past, we often just add -ed to the action word.
See how it changes:
- Walk Walked
- Like Liked
The 'Rule Breakers' Some words change completely. You just have to remember them:
- Take Took
- Write Wrote
- Go Went
🚩 Spotting the 'Not'
When we want to say something did NOT happen in the past, we use did not + the original word.
He did not know the people.
(We don't say "did not knew". The word "did" already tells us it is the past!)
