Learning

⏱️ Time and Age

In English, we use a specific pattern to describe how old someone is. Look at these examples from the text:

  • 65-year-old man
  • 17-year-old boy
  • 39-year-old man

The Rule: When we use the age as a description (an adjective) before a person, we use hyphens (-) and the word year (no 's' at the end).

Example Shift:

  • Description → A 20-year-old student.
  • Simple Fact → The student is 20 years old.

🛠️ Action Words (Past Tense)

To talk about things that already happened, we usually add -ed to the end of the word:

  • Arrest \rightarrow Arrested
  • Look \rightarrow Looked
  • Finish \rightarrow Finished

Watch out! Some words are "rebels" and change completely:

  • See \rightarrow Saw
  • Take \rightarrow Took
  • Tell \rightarrow Told
