🕒 The 'Past Time' Pattern

Look at how the story talks about things that already happened. To tell a story about the past, we often just add -ed to the action word.

From the text:

  • Test → Tested
  • Work → Worked
  • Start → Started

Simple Rule: Action Word + -ed = It happened before now.


📍 Where is it?

We use special words to show the place. In this article, we see two main areas:

  1. On land (ground/earth) \rightarrow *"tested missiles on land"
  2. In the sea (water/ocean) \rightarrow *"in the sea"

Quick Tip: Use 'on' for surfaces and 'in' for things inside water or air.
