Vocabulary Learning
⏱️ The 'Past' Action Trick
Look at these words from the story:
- Started
- Called
- Arrived
The Secret: To talk about something that finished in the past, we often just add -ed to the end of the action word.
How to use it: Today I walk → Yesterday I walked Today I call → Yesterday I called
⚠️ The 'Rule Breakers'
Some words are rebels. They don't use -ed. They change completely:
- Die → Died (This one follows the rule!)
- Say → Said (Rebel! No 'ed')
- Is/Are → Was/Were (Big rebels!)
Example from text: "They said people were fighting."
