Vocabulary Learning
⚡️ The "Past Action" Secret
In this story, everything happened in the past. To tell a story in English, we often just add -ed to the end of the word.
Look at these changes:
- Stop → Stopped
- Look → Looked
Wait! Some words are "Rebels." They don't follow the -ed rule. You must memorize them as they are:
- Say → Said
- Drive → Drove
- Shoot → Shot
- Go → Went
💡 Simple Rule for A2: If you see -ed, the action is finished.
Example from text: "The officer shooted his gun" is wrong. The text says "The officer shot his gun" because shoot is a rebel word.
