🕒 The "Past" Trick

In this story, we see words that tell us things happened yesterday or before. To reach A2, you need to spot these changes.

Look at these pairs:

  • Now: win →\rightarrow Then: won
  • Now: play →\rightarrow Then: played
  • Now: use →\rightarrow Then: used
  • Now: score →\rightarrow Then: scored

The Magic Rule: Most of these words just add -ed at the end to go back in time. But some are "rebels" (like win →\rightarrow won) and change their whole shape.

Comparison Point:

  • "South Africa is winning" →\rightarrow (Happening now)
  • "South Africa won the game" →\rightarrow (Finished/Past)

Quick Word Bank:

  • Stronger →\rightarrow More strong
  • Faster →\rightarrow More fast
