Vocabulary Learning
The 'Past' Power-Up
To reach A2, you must tell stories about things that already happened. In this story, we see a pattern of 'action words' that change to show the past.
The Pattern: Add -ed to the end of the word.
- Check Checked
- Land Landed
The Exception: Some words are 'rebels' and change completely. You just have to memorize them:
- Fly Flew
- Say Said
- Find Did not find (Notice: when we use 'did not', the word 'find' goes back to its normal shape!)
Quick A2 Tip: When you see 'The pilots landed the plane', you know the flight is over. The -ed is your signal that the event is in the past.
