🚀 The 'Action' Pattern

Look at how we describe things happening in the past. We just change the end of the word.

The Pattern:

  • Send (Now) \rightarrow Sent (Past)

How it works in the story:

  • South Korea sent a satellite.
  • China sent satellites.

📦 'A' vs 'The' (Simple Guide)

Use 'A' for the first time:

  • "A SpaceX rocket carried it." (We are introducing the rocket).

Use 'The' for something we already know:

  • "The satellites are now in the correct place." (We know which satellites because we talked about them before).
