Vocabulary Learning
⏳ Talking about the Past
Look at these words from the story:
- lived (live → lived)
- worked (work → worked)
- stopped (stop → stopped)
- called (call → called)
The Secret Rule: To talk about things that already happened, we usually just add -ed to the end of the action word.
Example: They worked on their houses. (This happened in the past).
⚠️ The 'Rule Breakers'
Some words don't follow the -ed rule. You must memorize them:
- be was/were ("Shawna was very hurt")
- go went ("Frances went to court")
- say said ("She said she was guilty")
Quick Tip: If you don't see -ed, check if the word changed its whole shape!
