Vocabulary Learning
💡 The 'Past Action' Pattern
To reach A2, you need to tell stories about things that already happened. Look at how this text uses -ed to change a word from 'now' to 'before'.
How it works:
- Start Started
- Help Helped
- Check Checked
- Follow Followed
The 'No' Rule for the Past: When we say something did not happen, we don't use -ed. We use did not + the simple word.
❌ The bank did not followed rules. ✅ The bank did not move illegal money.
Quick Guide:
Past = Word + ed
Past Negative = did not + Word
