The Pattern:

  • Now: Hit \rightarrow Past: Hit (No change!)
  • Now: Die \rightarrow Past: Died (Add -d)
  • Now: Crash \rightarrow Past: Crashed (Add -ed)
  • Now: Arrest \rightarrow Past: Arrested (Add -ed)

🌍 Places and People

Look at how the text connects a place to an action:

  • In the USA \rightarrow drivers went the wrong way.
  • In the UK \rightarrow a truck hit a child.
  • In India \rightarrow cars hit people.

Key Tip: Always use "In" before a country or a state to tell us where the story is happening.
