Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'Past' Trick
Look at these words from the story:
- Won (from Win)
- Swam (from Swim)
When we talk about things that already happened, the word often changes its shape.
Example: Today: I swim → Yesterday: I swam Today: I win → Yesterday: I won
🚩 The 'No' Word
To say someone did not do something in the past, we use did not + the normal word.
- ❌ She did not swim (Correct)
- ❌ She did not swam (Wrong!)
Pattern:
did not → normal action word
- He did not win.
- They did not race.
