Vocabulary Learning
🕒 The 'Past' Secret
To reach A2, you need to tell stories about things that already happened. Look at how the text changes words to show the past:
- Find → Found (The police found DNA)
- Kill → Killed (He killed two women)
- Attack → Attacked (He attacked women)
The Rule: Most words just need an -ed at the end. Some 'rebel' words (like find) change completely.
🏠 'Who' and 'That' (Connecting Ideas)
Instead of making many short sentences, we use who to describe people.
- Bad: Simon attacked women. These women had problems. Better: Simon attacked women who had problems.
