Vocabulary Learning
🗣️ Talking about the Past
In this news story, we see a pattern for describing things that already happened.
The Pattern: Base Word + "-ed"
Look at these changes from the text:
- Talk Talked
- Call Called
How to use it: When you want to say something happened yesterday or in the past, just add -ed to the end of the action word.
Examples from the text:
- "Minister Fidan called the Syrian Minister."
- "They talked about problems."
Quick Note: Not every word follows this rule (for example: met is the past of meet), but for many simple English words, adding -ed is the fastest way to move toward A2 English.
