Vocabulary Learning

🕒 Then vs. Now

Look at how the story changes from the past to the present:

  • Past (Finished) \rightarrow worked, talked, left, had, liked
  • Present (Now) \rightarrow works, has, is

The Magic Trick: Most of these words just add -ed to show they happened before today.

  • Work \rightarrow Worked
  • Talk \rightarrow Talked

Wait! Some are 'rebels' (they change completely):

  • Have \rightarrow Had
  • Is \rightarrow Was (not in text, but related)

⚽ Comparing People

When we say someone is "more" of something than another person, we add -er to the describing word:

Good \rightarrow Better

Example: "Kane is better at passing."

(This means: Kane is more good than other players.)
