🚨 Action & Result

In this story, we see how one action leads to a bad result. Let's look at the "Past Tense" (things that already happened).

The Pattern: Simple Action \rightarrow The Result

Examples from the text:

  • Driver went too fast \rightarrow Car fell
  • Bridge was old \rightarrow Bridge fell down
  • It rains \rightarrow Roads close

🛠 Word Swap: "Go" vs "Went"

We use Go for now and Went for then.

  • Now: I go to the hospital. \rightarrow (Present)
  • Then: Three people went to the hospital. \rightarrow (Past)

⚠️ Warning Words

When something is not safe, we use these words:

  • Dangerous: High risk (like the roads).
  • Bad: Not good (like the weather).
  • Fast: Too much speed.

Tip: To make a rule, use "Do not" \rightarrow "Do not drive at night."
