Vocabulary Learning
⚡️ The 'Past Fact' Pattern
In this story, we see a lot of words that tell us things already happened. To reach A2, you need to recognize how we change action words to talk about the past.
The Pattern: Add -ed Look at these words from the text:
- Charge Charged
- Kill Killed
- Arrest Arrested
The Exception: The 'Rule Breakers' Some words don't follow the -ed rule. You just have to memorize them:
- Find Found
- Say Said
- Get Got
Quick Guide
- If you see -ed, the action is finished.
- If the word looks completely different (like Say Said), it is still a finished action.
