Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'Action' Pattern
Look at how we describe things that happened in the past. In this story, the words change to show the time is finished.
The Rule: Most words just need an -ed at the end.
- Stop → Stopped
- Attack → Attacked
- Gather → Gathered
- Use → Used
⚠️ The Tricky Ones Some words are 'rebels' and change completely. You must memorize these:
- Become → Became
- Find → Found
- Go → Went
- Take → Took
Quick Tip for A2: If you see a sentence about yesterday or a specific date (like July 4), check if your verb has an -ed or is a 'rebel' word!
