Vocabulary Learning
💡 The 'Action' Connection
Look at how the text describes things that already happened. We use special 'past' words to show the action is finished.
The Pattern:
- Change Changed
- Want Wanted
- Offer Offered
- Trade Traded
Why this helps you reach A2: In English, adding -ed to the end of a word is the simplest way to talk about yesterday or last year.
Example from the text: "The Boston Celtics traded Jaylen Brown." (This means the trade is finished. It is not happening now.)
Quick Vocabulary Tip:
- Save money: To keep money instead of spending it.
- Strong team: A group of players who are very good.
