🕒 The 'Past' Pattern

To speak at an A2 level, you need to talk about things that already happened. Look at how the story changes words to show the past:

  • Say \rightarrow Said
  • Give \rightarrow Gave
  • Do \rightarrow Didn
  • Lose \rightarrow Lost

Quick Rule: Most words just add -ed (like helped), but the words above are 'special' and change their shape completely.


💰 Money Words

Notice how the text describes money moving in two directions:

  1. Making Money = Winning/Profit \checkmark
  2. Losing Money = Spending more than you have ×\times
  3. Owing Money = You must pay someone back \rightarrow

Example from text: "Rex Airlines owed 500 million dollars." (They had a debt).
