π The 'Action' Word Shift
Look at how the story changes from Now to Before. This is the most important step for A2 English.
1. The 'Past' Pattern In this text, we see words that tell us something already happened. Notice the ending -ed:
- punish β punished
- lose β lost (Special word!)
- win β won (Special word!)
2. How to use it If it happens today: The party punishes him. If it happened yesterday: The party punished him.
3. The 'Can' vs 'Cannot' Logic
- Can = Yes / Possible
- Cannot = No / Not allowed
Example from text: "He cannot be in the party" β This means it is forbidden.
