Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'Past Action' Pattern
In this story, we see a lot of words that tell us something already happened.
Look at these changes:
- See Saw (I see it now I saw it yesterday)
- Ask Asked (I ask a question I asked a question)
- Hit Hit (This word stays the same!)
- Push Pushed (I push the door I pushed the door)
💡 The A2 Rule: Most of the time, just add -ed to the end of the action word to move it to the past. But be careful! Some words (like see becoming saw) are 'rebels' and change their whole shape.
