Learning
⏳ The 'Past' Trick
To move from A1 to A2, you must know how to talk about things that already happened. Look at these words from the story:
- Visit → Visited*
- Walk → Walked*
- Call → Called*
- Start → Started*
The Secret: For most simple action words, just add -ed at the end to move the story into the past.
⚠️ The Rule Breakers
Some words are 'rebels' and don't use -ed. You just have to memorize them:
- Is/Are (Now) → Was/Were (Past)
- Find (Now) → Found (Past)
- Have (Now) → Had (Past)
Example from text:
- "The boy did not have a phone" → We use did not to make a past sentence negative.
📏 Describing People
