Vocabulary Learning
🏀 The 'Past' Pattern
To talk about things that already happened, we often add -ed to the end of the action word.
Look at these examples from the story:
- Play Played
- Miss Missed
- Help Helped
Wait! Some words are rebels. They change completely instead of adding -ed:
- Win Won
- Lose Lost
- Get Got
Quick Tip for A2: If you see "did not", the action word goes back to its normal, present form.
Correct: They did not win.
Wrong: They did not won.
