Vocabulary Learning
⚾ Talking about the Past
In this text, we see how to talk about things that already happened. Look at these changes:
- Play → Played (Example: He played very well)
- Get → Got (Example: He got many strikeouts)
- Have → Had (Example: He had 13 saves)
The Simple Rule: To talk about the past, we often add -ed to the end of the word. But some words are "special" (irregular) and change their whole shape, like get becoming got.
📍 People and Places
When we say where someone is from or where they work, we use for or from:
-
From = Origin (Where you started) Example: Two players from Texas...
-
For = Team/Company (Who you work with) Example: Sam Cozart plays for the University of Texas.
Quick Tip: Use from for your home city and for for your boss or team!
