Learning
⚡ The 'Past' Power
In this text, we see how to talk about things that already happened. To move to A2, you need to know the difference between regular and special past words.
1. The Regulars (Just add -ed) These are easy. Just put 'ed' at the end:
- plan → planned
- happen → happenned
2. The Specials (They change completely) These don't follow the rules. You must memorize them:
- kill → killed (Wait, this one is regular!)
- is/are → was/were
- die → died (Also regular!)
Wait! Look closer: In this news story, almost every action is regular. This is a great way to start.
Example from text: "The attack happenned on Friday." It is finished.
🌍 Naming Places & People
Notice how we use Capital Letters for specific names. This is a key A2 rule:
- Countries/Cities: Israel, Gaza City, West Bank
- People: Donald Trump, Izz al-Din al-Haddad
- Groups: Hamas, Israeli army
If it is a specific name, it gets a Big Letter.
