Vocabulary Learning
🛠️ The 'Action' Pattern
Look at how we describe things that happened in the past. We just add -ed to the end of the word.
Examples from the text:
- Arrest → Arrested
- Steal (irregular) → Stole
- Hide (irregular) → Hid
- Ask → Asked
Why this helps you (A2 level): If you want to tell a story about yesterday, use the -ed ending for most actions.
Example: I walked to the park. I played football.
💰 Money and Things
In English, we use specific words for amounts. Note how the text connects numbers to objects:
- Tonnes → Used for heavy things (Iron)
- Rupees → The name of the money
- Lakh/Crore → Special Indian number words
Quick Rule: Number → Unit → Object (Example: 250 → tonnes → of iron)
