🌍 Action Words (Past vs. Present)
In this text, we see how to talk about things that already happened versus things that are happening now. This is a key step for A2 learners.
The Past (Finished) Look at the endings. We add -ed to show it is over:
- Speak → Speaked (Wait! This is a 'trick' word) Spoke
- Talk Talked
- End Ended
The Present (Now/General) We use the base word or add -s for one person:
- The US wants to help.
- Europe needs to be stronger.
📍 Where? (The List Pattern)
When you describe a place, you list them with commas and put "and" at the end. This makes your English sound natural.
Pattern: Place A, Place B, Place C, and Place D.
Example from text: "Spain, Italy, Greece, and Bulgaria."
