Vocabulary Learning
📍 Talking about the Past
To tell a story about something that already happened, we often add -ed to the action word.
Look at these changes from the text:
- crash → crashed
- close → closed
- happen → happened
The 'Rule-Breakers' (Irregular words): Some words don't follow the -ed rule. You just have to memorize them:
- die → died (Wait, this one follows the rule!)
- go → went (The car went into the wrong lane)
- say → said (Some people say... Some people said...)
