Vocabulary Learning
🕒 The 'Past' Pattern
Look at these words from the story:
- Worked
- Stole
- Lied
- Said
These are Past Actions. When we talk about things that happened before today, we change the verb.
1. The Easy Change (Add -ed) Most words just need an 'ed' at the end: Work Worked Lie Lied
2. The Surprise Change (Irregular) Some words change completely. You must memorize these: Steal Stole Say Said
Quick Example:
- Today: I work at the hospital.
- Yesterday: I worked at the hospital.
