Vocabulary Learning
⚡️ The 'Past Action' Pattern
Look at how the story tells us what happened. It uses simple words that change slightly to show the action is finished.
The Pattern:
- Die Died
- Leave Left
- Hit Hit (stays the same!)
- See Saw
- Think Thought
- Stop Stopped
- Run Ran
💡 Beginner Tip: When you want to talk about yesterday or a past event, you cannot use the word as it is in the dictionary. You must use these 'finished' versions.
Quick Examples from the text:
- "Passengers saw smoke" (Not: Passengers see smoke).
- "They thought there was a fire" (Not: They think there was a fire).
⚠️ Special Note: Some words are tricky. Hit does not change. Whether it is today or ten years ago, it is always hit.
