Learning

💡 The 'Past' Power-Up

Look at these words from the story: died, was, went, took, found.

These are NOT normal words. They are 'Past' words. They tell us the story already happened.

How to spot the difference:

  • Now: I go to the hospital. →\rightarrow Past: I went to the hospital.
  • Now: I take the things. →\rightarrow Past: I took the things.
  • Now: I find a letter. →\rightarrow Past: I found a letter.

The 'Special' Case: Some words just add -ed to the end to move to the past:

  • Shout →\rightarrow Shouted
  • Want →\rightarrow Wanted

A2 Tip: When you tell a story about yesterday or a person who is gone, use these 'Past' forms instead of 'Now' forms.
