The 'Action' Pattern

In this story, we see how to talk about things that already happened. We change the action word to show it is in the past.

The Change:

  • Hit →\rightarrow Hit (No change!)
  • Die →\rightarrow Died
  • Hurt →\rightarrow Hurt (No change!)
  • Tell →\rightarrow Told

Quick Guide: How to use 'SAY'

When two people or countries disagree, we use these simple patterns:

  1. Person A says... →\rightarrow Pakistan says these men live in Afghanistan.
  2. Person B says... →\rightarrow Afghanistan says this is not true.

Simple Word Swap: Instead of saying "angry," you can use "not friends" to describe a bad relationship between two people or countries.
