Vocabulary Learning

🏁 Talking about the Past

In the story, we see how to describe things that already happened. Look at these word changes:

  • Win \rightarrow Won
  • Start \rightarrow Started
  • Have \rightarrow Had
  • Move \rightarrow Moved
  • Stop \rightarrow Stopped

Simple Rule: To talk about yesterday or a race that is finished, we usually add -ed to the end of the word (like started). Some words are 'rebels' and change completely (like win becoming won).


🌡️ Describing the Situation

Notice how we use Was and Were to describe the environment:

  • The weather was hot.
  • Ferrari was slow.
  • The cars broke (past action).

Quick Tip: Use Was for one person or thing, and Were for more than one.
