Vocabulary Learning
🕒 The 'Past' Simple Story
When we talk about things that happened long ago (like in 1995), we change the action word.
Look at the change:
- Find → Found
- Take → Took
- Say → Said
- Kill → Killed
How to use it: If the word ends in -ed, it's a regular pattern. If the word changes completely (like find to found), it is a special word you just have to remember.
👥 People Words
Notice how the text groups people together:
- Victims People who are hurt or killed.
- Ambassador A person who represents their country in another place.
- Members People who belong to a group (like a family).
📍 Location & Time Phrases
To be clear in A2 English, we put the 'When' and 'Where' in specific spots:
Time: "On July 11" or "In 1995" Place: "Through the city" or "In many places"
Example: The victims (Who) will be buried (Action) on July 11 (When).
