Vocabulary Learning
🕰️ The "Past Story" Pattern
When we talk about things that happened before now, we change the action word. Look at how these words change in the story:
- Kill → Killed
- Tell → Told
- Say → Said
- Become → Became
- Take → Took
The Simple Rule: Most words just need an -ed at the end (like killed). But some words are "rebels" and change completely (like take becomes took).
Quick Guide for A2: If you see -ed, the action is finished.
⚖️ Word Pairs (Opposites)
Understanding a story is easier when you know opposite meanings:
- Appear (to be seen) Disappear (to be gone)
- Plan (to think before) Spontaneous/Angry (no plan)
- Guilty (did it) Innocent (did not do it)
