Vocabulary Learning
🕒 The "Past" Pattern
In this story, we see how to talk about things that happened before now. Look at these action words:
- paid (from pay)
- made (from make)
- worked (from work)
- used (from use)
- started (from start)
How it works: To move a word from "now" to "then," we often just add -ed at the end.
- Work → Worked
- Start → Started
- Use → Used
Watch out! Some words are "rebels" and change completely. They don't follow the -ed rule:
- Pay → Paid
- Make → Made
Quick Summary: Now → Then Sells → Sold (Example: Greggs sells rolls now They sold rolls in 1939)
