Learning

🕒 The 'Past' Pattern

To reach A2, you need to tell stories about things that already happened. In this text, we see a very simple pattern for doing this: Action word + -ed.

Look at these changes:

  • Start → Started
  • Play → Played
  • Shout → Shouted
  • Hit → Hit (This one is a rebel! It stays the same).

🧱 Building Sentences

Notice how the text connects ideas using simple 'bridge' words. This is the secret to moving from A1 to A2:

First →\rightarrow Then →\rightarrow After

Example from text: "First, Hearts scored... Then, Celtic scored... After the game, fans ran..."

💡 Quick Vocabulary Tip

Instead of just saying "bad people," the text uses "caused trouble."

  • To cause trouble →\rightarrow To do something wrong or start a fight.
