Vocabulary Learning

🕵️ The "Past Action" Pattern

Look at these words from the story: played, killed, found, asked, wanted.

Most of these are just the action + -ed. This is how we talk about things that already happened.

Easy Rule: Action →\rightarrow add -ed →\rightarrow Past

  • Play →\rightarrow played
  • Ask →\rightarrow asked
  • Want →\rightarrow wanted

⚠️ The "Rule Breakers"

Some words don't follow the -ed rule. You just have to memorize them:

  • Find →\rightarrow found (Not "finded")
  • Say →\rightarrow said (Not "sayed")

Example from text: "Police found Gabriella..." →\rightarrow This happened in the past.
