Vocabulary Learning
🕒 Talking About the Past
In the story, we see words that tell us things already happened. To reach A2, you need to know how to change a word to show it is "finished."
The Pattern: Most words just need an -ed at the end.
- Play → Played
- Win → Won (This one is special/irregular!)
- Hit → Hit (This one stays the same!)
Comparing Now vs. Then:
| Now (Present) | Then (Past) |
|---|---|
| He wins | He won |
| He plays | He played |
🚫 Saying "No" in the Past
When the story says Zach did not hit the ball perfectly, it uses a magic helper word: DID NOT.
Crucial Rule:
When you use did not, the action word goes back to its normal, present form.
❌ Incorrect: He did not played. ✅ Correct: He did not play.
Example from text: "He did not hit the ball perfectly." (We use did not, so we use hit, not a special past version).
