Vocabulary Learning
🕰️ Talking about the Past
In this story, we see a pattern: we add -ed to words to show something happened before now. This is the easiest way to talk about history or yesterday.
The Pattern: Action → Past Action
- Start → Started
- Manage → Managed
Examples from the text:
- "Mr. Guillemot started Ubisoft" (He did this in 1986).
- "He managed family businesses" (He did this in his life).
⚠️ The 'Rebel' Word: Some words don't follow the -ed rule. They change completely.
- Go → Went
- Text example: "The plane went down..."
Quick Tip: If you see -ed, you are looking at the past. If you see went, you are also looking at the past, but the word is just being special!
