Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'Past' Switch
To reach A2, you must know how to talk about things that already happened. Look at these words from the story:
- Play Played
- Join Joined
- Want Wanted
- Accept Accepted
The Rule: For most action words, just add -ed to the end to move the story from 'now' to 'yesterday'.
🚫 Saying 'No' in the Past
When Ethan didn't want a contract, the writer used a special helper word:
Did not + Action Word (Normal form)
Example: "He did not want a new contract."
Crucial Tip: When you use did not, the action word stays simple. You do NOT say "did not wanted." That is a common mistake! Keep it simple: Did not want.
