Vocabulary Learning

🕒 Talking about the Past

In this story, we see words that tell us things already happened. This is the most important step for A2 learners.

1. The 'Simple' Past Most of these words just add -ed to the end:

  • Help \to Helped
  • Watch \to Watched
  • Play \to Played

2. The 'Rule-Breakers' Some words change completely. You just have to memorize these:

  • Win \to Won
  • Beat \to Beat (stays the same!)
  • Go \to Went

3. Saying 'No' in the Past To say something did not happen, use did not + the original word:

  • Correct: Australia did not lose.
  • Wrong: Australia did not lost.

Quick Tip: When you use 'did', the main verb goes back to its normal, present-day form.
