📌 The 'Action' Pattern

Look at these words from the story: hit, fell, came, tried, died.

These are Past Actions. In English, when we talk about things that already happened (like yesterday or in 2026), we change the verb.

How to use it:

  • Now: The plane hits a building. \rightarrow Past: The plane hit a building.
  • Now: The plane tries to land. \rightarrow Past: The plane tried to land.

📦 Counting Things (Numbers + Nouns)

To reach A2, you must connect numbers to objects correctly. Notice the 's' at the end of words when there is more than one:

  • 1 train \rightarrow Two trains
  • 1 fire team \rightarrow Sixteen fire teams
  • 1 person \rightarrow Two people (Special word: 'people' is the plural of 'person')

💡 Quick Word Swap

Instead of saying 'bad things', the text uses Accidents.

Accident = Something bad that happens by mistake.
