Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'Past Action' Pattern
In this story, everything already happened. To talk about the past in English, we often just add -ed to the action word.
Look at these changes:
- fight → fighted (Wait! This is a 'trick' word. It becomes fought)
- use → used
- stab → stabbed
The 'Special' Past Words Some words don't follow the -ed rule. You just have to remember them:
- go → went
- say → said
- do → did
Money Words When you see a $ sign, read it as 'dollars'.
- $25,000 → Twenty-five thousand dollars.
- $100,000 → One hundred thousand dollars.
Quick Tip: Use 'went to' when moving to a place (e.g., went to the hospital).
