Vocabulary Learning
🕒 THE 'PAST' ACTION PATTERN
Look at how the story tells us what happened. In English, to talk about yesterday or last night, we often just add -ed to the action word.
The Pattern:
Action Action + ed
Examples from the text:
- Start Started*
- Arrive Arrived*
- Try Tried*
⚠️ THE 'RULE BREAKERS'
Some words don't follow the -ed rule. You must memorize these because they are very common:
- Go Went (Example: "A man went into a house")
- Take Took (Example: "...took a person as a hostage")
