Vocabulary Learning
The 'Past Story' Pattern
To reach A2, you must move from talking about now to talking about before. Look at how the text changes words to show things already happened:
The Change
- Buy → Bought (Tamworth bought Kieren)
- Play → Played (He played for Boston)
- Score → Scored (He scored eight goals)
- Is → Was (He was the captain)
The 'Not' Trick When something didn't happen in the past, we use did not + the normal word:
- He did not cost any money. (Not did not costed)
Quick Guide for You
- Use -ed for most actions (played, helped).
- Use was/were for descriptions (He was 32).
- Use did not to say 'no' to the past.
