Vocabulary Learning
🎯 The 'Past Simple' Secret
To reach A2, you need to talk about things that already happened. Look at how the story describes the golf game:
- Finished Actions started, finished, played, visited, knew, made
How it works: Most of these words just add -ed at the end. This is the easiest way to tell a story in English.
The Tricky Ones (Irregular): Some words change completely. You just have to remember them:
- get got
- know knew
- make made
The 'No' Rule: When we want to say something did not happen, we use did not + the base word. We do NOT add -ed here.
