Learning

πŸ•’ The 'Past' Trick

Look at these words from the story: went, happened, finished, stopped, told.

These are "Past Action" words. To talk about things that are over, we often just add -ed to the end of the word.

  • Walk β†’\rightarrow Walked
  • Scream β†’\rightarrow Screamed
  • Talk β†’\rightarrow Talked

Watch out! Some words are rebels and change completely. You just have to remember them:

  • Go β†’\rightarrow Went
  • Say β†’\rightarrow Said
  • Tell β†’\rightarrow Told

πŸ” Using 'To' for Action

Notice this sentence: "Britney used the knife to cut a burger."

When you want to explain why someone did something, use to + action.

  • I go to the kitchen β†’\rightarrow to eat.
  • She uses a pen β†’\rightarrow to write.
  • He goes to the doctor β†’\rightarrow to feel better.
