Vocabulary Learning
⚡ THE 'PAST ACTION' PATTERN
Look at how the story tells us what happened. We use simple words to show things are finished.
The Magic Change:
- Play → Played
- Win → Won*
- Stop → Stopped*
- End → Ended
Quick Guide for A2: Most words just need -ed at the end to move to the past. Some are 'rebels' (like win → won) and you just have to remember them.
Real Examples from the Text: → "The weather was very hot." (Was = Past of 'is') → "The Marlins won 5-1." (Won = Past of 'win') → "The game ended with a win." (Ended = Past of 'end')
Pro Tip: When you see -ed, think: ⏪ Back in time.
