Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'Action' Pattern
Look at these words from the text: finished, lasted, chose, picked, had, traded, got.
These are all Past Actions. To tell a story about yesterday or last year, we change the end of the word.
The Simple Change (Adding -ed):
- finish → finished
- last → lasted
- trade → traded
The 'Magic' Change (Irregular): Some words change completely. You just have to remember them!
- choose → chose
- pick → picked (wait, this is regular!)
- pick → picked
- have → had
- get → got
Quick Guide for A2: If you see -ed, the action is finished.
Example: "The draft finished in Philadelphia" → It is over now. Past.
