⚡ The Power of 'Did' and 'Was'

When we talk about things that happened in the past, we use different words depending on if someone acted or if something was a certain way.

1. Action Words (Did/Shared/Found) These describe a movement or a choice.

  • He shared photos \rightarrow Action
  • Police found DNA \rightarrow Action
  • He did this \rightarrow General action

2. Status Words (Was/Were) These describe a state, a feeling, or a fact.

  • This crime was bad \rightarrow Fact/Opinion
  • She did not want to be with him \rightarrow Feeling

Quick Tip for A2: If you can imagine a movie clip of the person moving, use an action word. If the scene is like a still photo, use was or were.
