Vocabulary Learning
⏱️ The 'Past' Pattern
Look at these words from the story: played, won, scored, finished.
When we talk about things that are over (finished), we often add -ed to the end of the action word. This tells the listener the event happened yesterday, last year, or long ago.
- Play Played
- Finish Finished
⚠️ The Rule-Breakers Some words are 'rebels' and change completely. You just have to memorize them:
- Win Won
Quick Guide for A2 Learners: If you see -ed, think: "It is in the past." If you see Won, think: "He already got the trophy."
