Vocabulary Learning
💡 THE 'PAST' PATTERN
In this story, everything happened before today. To tell a story in English, we often add -ed to the end of a word.
Look at these changes:
- Stop Stopped
- Walk Walkedn* Call Called
- Pull Pulled
⚠️ THE 'REBELS'
Some words are 'rebels' and do not follow the -ed rule. They change their whole shape instead:
- Is (Now) Was (Then)
- See (Now) Saw (Then)
- Go (Now) Went (Then)
Quick Guide: If you want to talk about yesterday, check if the word is a 'Regular' (adds -ed) or a 'Rebel' (changes shape).
