🕒 Telling the Story

When we talk about things that already happened, we change the action word. Look at these shifts from the text:

  • Die →\rightarrow Died
  • Fall →\rightarrow Fell
  • Arrive →\rightarrow Arrived

📍 Where is it happening?

In English, we use 'at' for specific spots and 'in' for bigger areas (like cities).

Big Area (In):

  • In North York
  • In Kowloon Bay

Specific Spot (At):

  • At a shopping center
  • At a sports ground

🛠️ The "Right Now" Pattern

When something is happening currently, we use is/are + word ending in -ing.

The government is now looking... →\rightarrow Happening right now. Workers are now studying... →\rightarrow Happening right now.
