Vocabulary Learning
🧊 The 'Past' Story Glue
To move from A1 to A2, you need to tell stories about things that already happened. This text uses a simple pattern: Subject + Action-ed.
Look at these examples from the text:
- He stopped (Stop + ed)
- He stayed (Stay + ed)
- Workers found (Find changes to Found)
⚠️ The 'Be' Trap When we describe a state or place in the past, we don't use '-ed'. We use Was:
- Wrong: He stopped in a hole. (This means he stopped moving)
- Right: He was in a hole. (This means he was located there)
Quick Cheat Sheet for A2:
- Action ’ed’ (walked, looked, stayed)
- Location/Feeling ’was’ (was lost, was safe, was angry)
