Vocabulary Learning
🕒 Talking about the Past
In this story, we see two ways to talk about things that already happened. This is the most important part of moving to A2 English.
1. The 'Simple' Past (Just add -ed) Most words just need a little tail at the end to show they happened yesterday:
- Attack Attacked
- Plan Planned
2. The 'Rule Breakers' (Words that change completely) Some words don't follow the -ed rule. You just have to remember them:
- Die Died (Similar, but notice the spelling)
- Say Said
- Steal Stole
💡 Pro Tip: When you see "was" or "were," you are talking about a state or a situation in the past.
- Example: "This was a dangerous attack."
- Meaning: It is not dangerous now, but it was then.
