Vocabulary Learning
🕒 The "Past Moment" Pattern
Look at how we talk about things that already happened. In this story, the writer uses a simple trick: Word + ed.
- crash → crashed
- want → wanted (implied by context)
- look → looked (implied)
The Rule of Thumb: To tell a story about yesterday or last week, we usually add -ed to the action word.
Watch out for the 'Rebels' (Words that change completely): Some words don't follow the -ed rule. You must memorize these:
- Go → Went
- Fall → Fell
- Do → Did
Quick Comparison: Now (Present) → Then (Past)
- The plane falls → The plane fell
- Police go → Police went
- It crashes → It crashed
