Vocabulary Learning
⚽ Speaking about the Past
When we talk about things that happened yesterday or in a finished game, we change the action word.
The Change:
- Play Played
- Beat Beat (stays the same!)
- End Ended
- Lose Lost
Quick Rule: For most words, just add -ed at the end. Example: "The USA played very well."
Special Cases: Some words are 'rebels' and change completely. Example: "They lost 7-1" (not losed).
The 'No' Rule (Negative): To say something didn't happen, use did not + the original word.
- Wrong:
did not let(Wait, 'let' is a rebel that doesn't change!) - Pattern: did not + base word
- Example: "The USA did not let a referee enter."
A2 Tip: Use these words to tell a simple story about your weekend!
