Vocabulary Learning
The 'Past' Pattern
In this story, most things already happened. To tell a story, we change the action word (the verb).
1. The Easy Change (+ed) Many words just need -ed at the end to move from now to before:
- Catch → Catched (Actually, this one is special! See below)
- Hide → Hidden (Special)
- Help → Helped
2. The 'Rule Breakers' Some words change completely. You must memorize these to reach A2:
- Is → Was (Example: He was a student)
- Run → Ran (Example: Billy ran after them)
- Find → Found (Example: Police found the boy)
- Shoot → Shot (Example: Someone shot him)
3. Summary Table
| Now | Before |
|---|---|
| Is | Was |
| Run | Ran |
| Help | Helped |
| Find | Found |
Quick Tip: When you see names of people (Billy, Azzubair) and a date (June 6), always look for these 'Before' words!
