Vocabulary Learning
⚡️ Action Words: Now vs. Before
To reach A2, you must know how to change a word to show it already happened. Look at these changes from the story:
- Start → Started (The fire started)
- Break → Broke (The AC broke)
- Run → Ran (They ran out)
- Save → Saved (Firefighters saved people)
The Rule: Most words just need an -ed at the end. Some words are 'rebels' and change completely (like run to ran).
📦 Word Groups: Things and Places
Notice how the story groups items together. This helps you describe a room or a city:

- Furniture (chairs, tables)
- Electronics (TVs, computers)
- Air conditioner (cooling machine)
The City:

- Ground floor (the bottom level)
