🕒 The 'Past' Story-telling Trick
To move to A2, you must change action words to tell a story about yesterday.
How it works: Most words just add -ed at the end.
- Wait Waited
- Track Tracked
The 'Rule Breakers' (Irregular): Some words change completely. You just have to memorize them:
- Go Went
- Have Had
- Do Did
Example from text: "The family used their own car... the boy died."
💡 Word Pairs for Comparing
Notice how the text compares two things using More and Fewer. This is a key A2 skill for describing changes.
- More (Higher number) More people had snakebites.
- Fewer (Lower number) Fewer people died.
Quick Tip: Use fewer for things you can count (like people, cars, or apples).
