💡 Focus: Action Words (The Past)

Look at how we describe things that already happened in this story:

  • Killed (Kill + ed) →\rightarrow He killed Charlie.
  • Told (Tell →\rightarrow Told) →\rightarrow Lance told the court.
  • Wrote (Write →\rightarrow Wrote) →\rightarrow Robinson wrote a note.

The Rule: To talk about yesterday or last year, we change the action word. Some are easy (just add -ed), and some are 'rebels' that change completely (like tell to told).

🚩 Word Alert: "Evidence"

In the text, we see: gun, towel, DNA, note, videos.

All of these things are called Evidence. Evidence = Things that prove who did it.
