🧩 The 'Who Did What' Pattern

In this text, we see a very simple way to tell a story: Someone \rightarrow Action \rightarrow Someone else.

1. The Simple Action Look at how the writer says things happen:

  • Soldiers \rightarrow killed \rightarrow boys.
  • Police \rightarrow arrested \rightarrow a doctor.
  • Guards \rightarrow hit \rightarrow him.

2. The 'Past' Secret To talk about things that already happened, we often just add -ed to the end of the action word:

  • Arrest \rightarrow Arrested
  • Kill \rightarrow Killed

3. Words for People Here are a few useful words from the text to describe people:

  • Civilian: A person who is not in the army.
  • Witness: A person who saw what happened.
  • Lawyer: A person who helps someone in court.
