Vocabulary Learning
The 'Past Action' Pattern
Look at these words from the story: hit, needed, said, did, fought, went.
In English, when we talk about things that happened before now, we change the verb.
1. The 'Regular' Change (Add -ed) Some words just need a little tail at the end:
- Need → Needed*
- Follow → Followed*
2. The 'Rule Breakers' (Change completely) Some words are rebels. You must memorize them:
- Go → Went*
- Say → Said*
3. The 'Stay the Same' (No change) Some words are lazy. They don't change at all:
- Hit → Hit*
Quick Summary for A2: If you see these words, the story is NOT happening now. It is a memory or a report.
