Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'Past Action' Pattern
To reach A2, you need to tell stories about things that already happened. Look at how the text uses -ed to change the meaning of a word:
- Send (now) Sent (finished)
- Use (now) Used (finished)
- Try (now) Tried (finished)
Quick Rule: When you see -ed (or a change like send sent), the action is in the past. It is over.
Real-world examples from the text:
- "Italy sent two Russian men away." (This happened before today).
- "He used a fake name." (He is not using it now).
Key words to remember:
- Stole (Past of steal)
- Died (Past of die)
- Wanted (Past of want)
