Vocabulary Learning

💡 THE 'PAST' SECRET

To talk about things that already happened (like these parties in June), we usually add -ed to the action word.

Look at the patterns:

  • walk → walked
  • want → wanted
  • help → helped

⚠️ THE 'REBEL' WORDS

Some words don't follow the -ed rule. They change completely! These are very common in A2 English:

  • go \rightarrow went (Example: Many people went to these events.)
  • have \rightarrow had (Example: Toronto had a big festival.)
