Learning

⚡ Talking about the Past

In this story, we see words that tell us things already happened. This is the most important part of moving to A2.

The 'ED' Pattern When we talk about finished actions, we often add -ed to the end of the action word:

  • Work →\rightarrow Worked
  • Learn →\rightarrow Learned

The 'Special' Words Some words change completely. You just have to memorize these:

  • Is →\rightarrow Was
  • Do →\rightarrow Did

Saying 'No' in the Past To say something did NOT happen, use did not + the normal word:

  • He did not play.
  • He did not like.

Quick Tip: Use these to describe your day or your last holiday!
