Vocabulary Learning

🟢 The 'Past Action' Pattern

Look at how we talk about things that already happened. We mostly add -ed to the word.

Examples from the story:

  • Live →\rightarrow Lived
  • Want →\rightarrow Wanted
  • Push →\rightarrow Pushed

⚠️ The 'Rule Breakers'

Some words are rebels. They do not use -ed. You must memorize these common changes:

  • Go becomes →\rightarrow Went
  • Find becomes →\rightarrow Found
  • Have becomes →\rightarrow Had
  • Fall becomes →\rightarrow Fell

💡 Quick Tip: Using 'Was' vs 'Were'

When describing a person or a place in the past:

  1. One person/thing →\rightarrow Was (Example: Jagdish was 81 years old.)
  2. More than one person →\rightarrow Were (Example: The police were looking...)
