Vocabulary Learning

🕒 The 'Past' Trick

To move from A1 to A2, you need to tell stories about things that already happened. Look at how these words change:

  • Find →\rightarrow Found (Police found the body)
  • Look →\rightarrow Looked (They looked for her)
  • Call →\rightarrow Called (A person called the police)
  • Walk →\rightarrow Walked (She walked into the woods)

The Rule of Thumb: Most of the time, you just add -ed to the end of the action word to push it into the past. A few special words (like find →\rightarrow found) change their whole shape.

📍 Location Words

Notice how we describe where things are. These small words are vital for A2 descriptions:

In the woods\text{In the woods} At a gym\text{At a gym} Into the woods\text{Into the woods}

Quick Tip: Use 'at' for a specific place (like a gym) and 'in' when someone is inside a large area (like the woods).
