Vocabulary Learning
🕒 The 'Past' Secret
Notice how the story describes things that already happened. Most words just add -ed to the end. This is the easiest way to tell a story in English.
- Start → Started
- Stop → Stopped
- Damage → Damaged
⚠️ The 'Rule Breakers'
Some words are rebels. They don't use -ed. You must memorize these special changes:
Go Went (Example: One man went to the hospital)
Die Died (Note: This one looks normal, but the 'e' is already there, so we just add 'd')
💡 Quick Tip: 'The Scene'
In news stories, "at the scene" means the exact place where the accident happened. It is a very common A2 phrase for describing events.
