⚡ The 'Action' Word Shift

In the story, we see how a person's status changes. Look at these words:

  • Wanted \rightarrow (He had a dream/wish)
  • Asked \rightarrow (The officer wanted information)
  • Said no \rightarrow (The final decision)

💡 Easy Pattern: Past Actions Most of these words end in -ed. When you talk about things that already happened (like the visa interview), just add -ed to the action word.

  • Want \rightarrow Wanted
  • Ask \rightarrow Asked

⚠️ The 'Odd One Out' Notice the word Said. It doesn't use -ed, but it is still in the past. Some words are 'rebels' and change their spelling entirely.

  • Say \rightarrow Said

Quick Vocabulary Map

  • Suspicious \rightarrow When you think someone is lying.
