Vocabulary Learning
🐾 The 'Action' Shift
Look at how we describe things that happened in the past. In this text, we see a pattern: Adding -ed.
The Pattern: Word Past Version
- Attack Attacked
- Want Wanted
- Stay Stayed
⚠️ The 'Rule Breakers' Some words are 'rebels.' They don't follow the -ed rule. You just have to memorize them:
- Eat Ate (Not 'eated')
- Die Died (Regular!)
- Catch Caught (Irregular)
- Is Was (Special change)
Quick Tip for A2: When you tell a story about yesterday, look for the -ed ending. If the word looks completely different (like catch becoming caught), it is an irregular word.
