01
Start with white light
Every verb begins in the first column: go, eat, see. That plain form is our white light.
English past verbs for A1 and A2V1 · V2 · V3
Shine a light
on the past.
Every verb is white light. Steer the beam through the prism and it splits into its past: warm light for the past simple, cool light for the third column.
The idea
A verb is like white light.
The prism shows its past.
White light holds every colour. A verb holds every form. Dig's Prism turns one of the hardest parts of English grammar into something you can see, move and remember.
02
Send it through the prism
Move the light into the glass. Like real light, it bends and splits into a rainbow of colours.
03
Read the colour
Warm light shows the past simple. Cool light shows the third column. New colour, new form.
Real physics, real refraction. In a prism, red light bends the least and violet bends the most. So the warm end of the rainbow points to the past simple, and the cool end points to the third column.
Two separate parts
Second column. Third column.
One prism for both.
Learn them one at a time. Part 1 is all about the past simple. Part 2 is all about the past participle. Each part has its own lab, its own lessons and its own games.
