Vocabulary Learning

⚡ Focus: The 'Past Simple' Action

To reach A2, you must describe things that already happened. Look at how the story uses small, strong verbs to tell a tragedy.

The Pattern: Subject + Action Word (Past) + Object

Examples from the text:

Virginia won money. (Win → Won)
Robbie went to court. (Go → Went)
She wrote a book. (Write → Wrote)

💡 Quick Tip: Regular vs. Irregular

Some words just add -ed, but others change completely. This is the 'secret' to A2 storytelling:

Normal (-ed)	Changed (Irregular)
stopped $\rightarrow$ stopped	win $\rightarrow$ won
fought $\rightarrow$ fought*	go $\rightarrow$ went
wanted $\rightarrow$ wanted	write $\rightarrow$ wrote

(Note: 'Fought' is actually irregular, but it describes a fight!)

Sentence Build: Person $\rightarrow$ Past Action $\rightarrow$ Something Virginia $\rightarrow$ had $\rightarrow$ problems.
