Vocabulary Learning
📦 The 'Taking' Pattern
In this news story, the writer uses a few simple words to show that the police removed things. Look at how these words work:
Found They saw it for the first time. (Example: They found drugs in her house.)
Took They grabbed it and moved it away. (Example: They took cocaine and $40,000.)
Stopped They made the action end. (Example: Police stopped people selling cocaine.)
💡 Quick Tip for A2: To talk about the past, most of these words just add -ed (stop stopped), but some change completely (find found / take took). Focus on these three to describe a police report!
