Vocabulary Learning

🕒 Talking about the Past

Look at these words from the story: died, happened, talked, decided.

In English, when something is finished, we often just add -ed to the end of the action word. This is the easiest way to tell a story about yesterday or last year.

The Pattern: Action \rightarrow Past Action

  • Talk \rightarrow Talked
  • Decide \rightarrow Decided
  • Happen \rightarrow Happened

⚠️ The 'Rule Breakers'

Some words are 'rebels.' They don't use -ed. You just have to memorize them.

  • Go \rightarrow Went (The man went to the hospital)
  • Make \rightarrow Made (One person made a model)

Quick Tip: If you see a word like went or made, it means the action is already over. You are looking at a memory, not something happening right now.
