Vocabulary Learning

⚾ The 'Action' Pattern

In this text, we see a simple way to describe things that happened in the past. We use specific words to show a completed action.

The Secret: Most of these words end in -ed. This tells us the game is over.

  • play → played
  • score → scored
  • stop → stopped

Wait! Some are different: Some words change completely. We call these 'special' words:

  • win → won

How to use this for A2: When you talk about your day or a sport, add -ed to the action word to move it to yesterday.

Example: "I played football" or "The team won."
