🧩 The 'People' Connection

In this story, we see how to describe who did something using simple descriptions.

Pattern: [Number] + [Age] + [Person]

Look at these examples from the text:

  • 14-year-old boy
  • 15-year-old boy
  • 16-year-old student
  • 38-year-old man

How to use it → When you want to tell someone's age as a description, put the age first, add -year-old, and then the person.

Example: A 20-year-old teacher\text{A 20-year-old teacher}.

🛠️ Action Words (Past Time)

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

  • Arrest →\rightarrow Arrested
  • Threaten →\rightarrow Threatened
  • Plan →\rightarrow Planned

Quick Rule: If the action is finished, use the -ed version.

Today: I plan. Yesterday: I planned.
