⚡ The 'Happened' Logic
Look at how the story tells us things that are already finished. We use a special form of the word to show the action is over.
Pattern: Word + ed
- Happen → Happened
- Damage → Damaged*
- Start → Started
- Move → Moved
Note: For 'damage', we just add 'd' because the 'e' is already there.
📦 Moving from Big to Small
Notice how the text describes where things are. It goes from a wide area to a specific spot:
India (Country) Eastern India (Region) Chemical Plant (Building) A Pipe (Small part)
A2 Tip: To be clear in English, always start with the big place and move to the small detail.
