The "Past Action" Pattern
Look at these words from the story: sent, hurt, had, hit, fell, died, said.
These are not normal words. They are "Past Tense" words. We use them when the action is finished.
How it works:
- Today: I have an idea. → Yesterday: I had an idea.
- Today: He says hello. → Yesterday: He said hello.
- Today: He falls down. → Yesterday: He fell down.
