Vocabulary Learning
📅 Telling the Story (Past Simple)
To move to A2, you must change verbs from 'now' to 'before'. Look at how the story describes the man:
- Is (Now) Was (Before)
- Go (Now) Went (Before)
- Have (Now) Had (Before)
🔍 Pattern Spotting: The 'Past' Action
In the text, we see these specific changes:
- "The child went to the hospital" (Not go)
- "The child had very bad injuries" (Not has)
- "Police arrested..." (Added -ed)
💡 Pro Tip: Most English verbs just need -ed at the end to talk about the past. But 'Go' and 'Have' are rebels—they change completely!
