Vocabulary Learning
🕒 Talking about the Past
When we talk about things that already happened (like a football game last week), we usually add -ed to the action word.
Look at these examples from the text:
- play played
- start started
- end ended
⚠️ The 'Rule Breakers' (Irregular Words) Some words do not follow the -ed rule. You must memorize these because they change completely:
- Have Had (Example: Spain had a young player)
- Are Were (Example: Some people were angry)
- Is Was (Example: He was sick)
Quick Tip for A2: If you see -ed, it's a signal that the story is in the past. If you see was/were, it describes how a person or thing felt or looked in the past.
