Event Canceled at University of Washington
Introduction
Turning Point USA canceled a meeting with Chloe Cole. They did this because they fear for her safety.
Main Body
A 19-year-old student died on Sunday. This student was transgender. The university did not see any threats. But Turning Point USA said many people sent violent messages. Chloe Cole says some groups want to hurt her. She says these groups are angry. She thinks they want to kill her like they killed Charlie Kirk in September. The university thinks the timing is bad. The police caught a person for the student's death. Now, the school and the group disagree about the danger.
Conclusion
The event is not happening now. Turning Point USA will pick a new date later.

🕒 The 'Past' Simple Trick
Look at these words from the text:
- canceled
- died
- said
- caught
When we talk about things that already happened, we often add -ed to the end of the action word.
Example: Cancel Canceled
⚠️ Not Always the Same!
Some words are 'rebels'. They change completely. You just have to memorize them:
- Say Said
- Catch Caught
- Die Died (This one follows the rule!)
💡 Quick A2 Tip
If you see -ed, you are usually looking at the past. If the word looks totally different, check if it is a 'rebel' word like said.
