⚡ The "Action Word" Shift
In the story, we see how words change when something happened in the past versus happening now.
Past (Finished) → Present (Now)
- Signed (He did it) → Joins (He is doing it now)
- Played (He did it before) → Wants (He feels it now)
- Tried (Attempted before) → Are (They exist now)
How to use this for A2: If you see -ed at the end of a word, it usually means the action is over.
Example from text: "Malcolm Bell played football" He is not playing there anymore. "Bell wants to play" This is his feeling right now.
