Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'Action' Word
In this story, we see a lot of words that tell us what happened. For A2 learners, the most important thing is knowing how to say things happened in the past.
The Pattern: Adding -ed Look at these words from the text:
- Attack Attacked*
- Control Controlled*
When we talk about yesterday or last week, we often just add -ed to the end of the action word.
The 'Rule Breakers' (Irregular) Some words don't follow the -ed rule. You just have to memorize them:
- Die Died (Wait, this one actually follows the rule!)
- Is/Are Was/Were (The text uses 'is' for now, but if it happened before, we change it).
Quick Map for your brain:
Now Israel attacks.
Past Israel attacked.
