Vocabulary Learning
⚡ Quick Focus: The 'Past' Pattern
Look at how the story tells us what happened. Most of these words end in -ed. This is how we talk about yesterday or last year.
The Pattern: Word + -ed → Past Action
- Walk Walked*
- Liked Liked*
- Continued Continued*
💡 The 'Odd' Ones
Some words don't follow the -ed rule. You just have to remember them:
- Come Came (He came from India)
- Say Said (The students said...)
- Do Did (He did not talk)
🚀 Pro Tip for A2
To say something did NOT happen in the past, use: did not + [basic word]
did not talk did not like
