⏱️ Talking About the Past

Look at these words from the story:

• happened
• died
• arrested
• found

In English, when we talk about things that are finished (like yesterday or last Sunday), we often add -ed to the end of the action word.

The Pattern: Action + ed $\rightarrow$ Past Action

Example: Arrest $\rightarrow$ Arrested

⚠️ The 'Rule Breakers'

Some words don't follow the -ed pattern. You just have to memorize them. These are called irregular words.

From the text:

• Die $\rightarrow$ Died (This one follows the rule!)
• Find $\rightarrow$ Found (This one changes completely!)

Quick Guide: Find (Now) $\rightarrow$ Found (Then)

🏠 Locations

Notice how we use at and on for places:

1. At = A specific spot $\rightarrow$ at a house, at the court
2. On = A street name $\rightarrow$ on Loder Street
3. From = Where someone lives $\rightarrow$ from Biggera Waters
