Introduction

Police arrested two women. They found a small dog in a trash can.

Main Body

On May 9, a street cleaner found a three-month-old dog in a bin. The dog was very dirty. It had a very bad sickness. The dog could not drink water. The doctors killed the dog to stop its pain. Police looked at cameras on the street. They found a house in Ho Man Tin. On Monday, police arrested two women there. The women are 28 and 39 years old. Police found three more dogs in the house. These dogs were not sick. The SPCA took the dogs to keep them safe. The two women can go home now, but they must talk to the police again in June.

Conclusion

Police are still checking the case. The SPCA is watching the other dogs.

Learning

πŸ’‘ The 'Action' Pattern

Look at how we describe things that already happened. We take a simple action and add -ed to the end.

  • Arrest β†’\to Arrested
  • Look β†’\to Looked*

Why this helps you: If you want to tell a story about yesterday or last week, use this pattern.

Wait! Some words are different (The Rebels): Some words don't follow the -ed rule. You just have to remember them:

  • Find β†’\to Found
  • Take β†’\to Took

Note: For 'looked', we just add -ed because it's a regular word.
