Vocabulary Learning
💡 Focus: Talking about the Past
In this story, we see how to talk about things that already happened using -ed words.
How it works: Add -ed to the end of a word to show it is finished.
- Change Changed
- Want Wanted (though here we use 'want' for the present)
- Lose Lost (Some words are special/irregular!)
Examples from the text:
- "The Timberwolves changed their players." It happened already.
- "They lost in the playoffs." The game is over.
🚀 Pro Tip: 'Get' for Changes
Look at how the word 'get' is used to show a change in a person's situation:
- Get a player To acquire someone new.
- Get sick To become ill.
- Get hurt To become injured.
Use 'get' when someone moves from one state to another!
