🕒 The 'Past' Logic

Look at these words from the text:

  • Started
  • Attacked
  • Died
  • Fought
  • Traded

The Pattern: Most of these end in -ed. This is how we tell the reader that something happened before now.

  • Start → Started
  • Attack → Attacked
  • Trade → Traded

The Rebel Word: Fought is different. It does not use -ed. We call this a 'special' word. You must memorize it as it is.


📉 Describing 'Less' or 'Zero'

When things are bad or missing, we use these simple A2 phrases:

  1. "No [thing]" \rightarrow People have no food. (Zero food)
  2. "Very [feeling]" \rightarrow Are very hungry. (Strong feeling)
  3. "Very little [thing]" \rightarrow Have very little food. (A small amount)
