Vocabulary Learning
🛑 The 'Past Action' Pattern
Look at how the text talks about things that already happened. It uses a simple change to the action word (the verb).
The Pattern: Action Word + -ed Past Time
Examples from the text:
- pay paid (Special word!)
- fine fined
- open opened
Why this helps you reach A2: To tell a story or report news, you cannot use the present. You must move the action to the past.
Simple Comparison:
- Now: The bank follows the law.
- Before: The bank followed the law.
Quick Note: Notice how "did not" is used for things that didn't happen.
- Example: "did not stop" (No -ed here because "did" already tells us it is the past).
