🕒 Talking about the Past

In this story, we see a pattern for talking about things that already happened. We use -ed at the end of words to move them from now to before.

The Pattern:

  • Work \rightarrow Worked
  • Arrest \rightarrow Arrested

Example from the text: "He worked for the Toronto Police."


🛠️ The "Small Word" Trick

Look at how we describe people's ages. We don't say "He has 29 years." In English, we use the word was or is.

  • Now: He is 19 years old.
  • Past: He was 29 years old.

Quick Tip: Use is/was for age, not "have."


📍 Where things happen

To tell us the location, we use the word in:

  • In Ontario
  • In jail
  • In North York
