Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'Action' Pattern
In this story, we see how to talk about things that already happened. We use a simple change to the word to show the past.
The Pattern: Add -ED
- Play → Played
- Score → Scored
- Argue → Argued
The 'Rule-Breakers' (Irregular) Some words don't follow the -ed rule. You just have to memorize them:
- Win → Won
- Fight → Fought
- Beat → Beat (stays the same!)
Quick Look: Comparing Now vs. Then
| Now (Present) | Then (Past) | Example from Text |
|---|---|---|
| Want | Wanted | They wanted to play better |
| Lose | Lost | Afghanistan lost the game |
| Make | Made | Players made mistakes |
💡 Tutor Tip: When you see -ed, the action is finished. It is over. It is in the past.
