⚡ The 'Action' Pattern

Look at how these words describe things that happened. They are all in the Past (yesterday/before).

The Change:

  • Die \rightarrow Died
  • Hit \rightarrow Hit (Stays the same!)
  • Hurt \rightarrow Hurt (Stays the same!)
  • Fall \rightarrow Fell

📦 Small vs. Big

In English, we put the describing word before the thing.

  • Big truck
  • Small car
  • Fast car

Tip: Always say the 'feeling' or 'size' first, then the object.


📍 Where it happens

Use In for countries and On for roads:

  • In\text{In} India \checkmark
  • In\text{In} Canada \checkmark
  • On\text{On} a road \checkmark
  • On\text{On} a highway \checkmark
