Wait! Some words are 'rebels' and change completely:

  • Find → Found
  • Die → Died (follows the rule)
  • Do → Did

📦 Counting and Comparing

We use numbers to show a big difference between what is allowed and what is real.

  • The Law: 6 rooms (Small/Safe)
  • The Reality: 18 or 25 rooms (Big/Dangerous)

Key Word: Too many\text{Too many} \rightarrow This means more than what is okay.
