Learning

💡 The 'Action' Pattern

In this story, we see how to talk about things that already happened. We use Past Tense words to tell a story.

Look at the change:

  • Start →\rightarrow Started
  • Play →\rightarrow Played
  • Score →\rightarrow Scored
  • Beat →\rightarrow Beat (This one stays the same!)

🛠️ The "Did Not" Rule

When someone didn't do something in the past, we use did not + base word.

  • Correct: He did not get out. $
  • Wrong: He did not got out.

Quick Tip: Once you use "did," the action word goes back to its normal, present form.

📈 Comparing Numbers

To show who is better or has more, we use Comparative words:

extMoregames→More than any other player ext{More games} \rightarrow \text{More than any other player}

If RCB has 16 and KKR has 9, we can say: "RCB has more points than KKR."
