Vocabulary Learning
💡 The 'Action' Bridge
Look at how we talk about things that already happened versus things that are happening now. This is the key to moving from A1 to A2.
Past (Done) Present (Now/General)
- Played (It is finished) Play (He does this usually)
- Scored (The game is over) Score (His goal)
- Won (The result is set) Win (The desire)
Quick Logic Check: If you see an -ed at the end of a word (like played), the time has already passed. If the word is plain (like play), we are talking about the present or a general need.
