Vocabulary Learning
🚨 The 'Action' Word
Look at how we describe things that already happened in the story. We change the end of the word to show it is in the past.
The Pattern: Word + -ed Past
- Happen Happened
- Start Started
⚠️ The 'Special' Word
Some words are rebels. They don't follow the -ed rule. You just have to memorize them!
- Go Went
- Is/Are Was
Example from text: "He went to the hospital" (NOT: He goed) "He was in a room" (NOT: He is in a room - because it happened before)
💡 Quick Tip for A2
To tell a story about yesterday or last week, always check if your action word has that -ed or if it is a 'special' rebel word.
