πŸ•’ Time & Action

Look at how we describe when things happen using days of the week. We use the word on.

  • on Sunday β†’ (The car theft)
  • on Saturday β†’ (The fight)

πŸ‘€ Describing People (Ages)

In English, we use a hyphen (-) to turn an age into a description for a person.

The Pattern: Number + year + old + person

  • 23-year-old man
  • 34-year-old man

Note: We don't say "a man of 23 years" in this style. We use the hyphenated version as a single label before the word "man".

  1. Drove into (Using a car β†’ hitting something)
