Vocabulary Learning
🚩 The 'Past' Habit
In this story, most things already happened. To talk about the past in English, we often just add -ed to the action word.
Look at these changes:
- Happen → Happened
- Arrest → Arrested
- Destroy → Destroyed
💡 The 'Tricky' Words
Some words don't follow the -ed rule. They change completely. You must memorize these to reach A2:
- Say becomes Said
- Die becomes Died (this one looks like the rule, but it's a special group!)
- Get becomes Got
