Main Body

Police found a man's body near a council car. They found guns and ID papers. They think the man is 37-year-old Julian Ingram. He died soon after he killed three people on January 22. Now the police have questions. They want to know how the man got guns without a license. They also want to know why a judge let him go home in November after he hurt a woman.

πŸ” The 'Who Did What' Pattern

In this story, we see a very common way to describe events in the past. Look at these three words:

  • Found (Find β†’ Found)
  • Killed (Kill β†’ Killed)
  • Died (Die β†’ Died)

The Simple Rule: To talk about things that already happened, we often just add -ed to the end of the word.

Example from text: "Police searched a very large area."

πŸ’‘ Vocabulary Bridge

Notice how the text uses simple words to describe a big situation. Instead of using 'difficult' words, it uses 'basic' ones:

  • Big Search β†’\rightarrow Looking for someone in a large place.
  • Main Suspect β†’\rightarrow The person police think did the crime.
  • ID Papers β†’\rightarrow Documents that show your name (Passport/ID card).

πŸ› οΈ Building Sentences

Look at how the police ask questions. They use 'How' and 'Why':

  1. How β†’\rightarrow The way something happened. (How did he get guns?)
  2. Why β†’\rightarrow The reason something happened. (Why did the judge let him go?)
