📌 The 'Who Did What' Pattern

In English, we usually put the person first and the action second. Look at these examples from the story:

  • Two men →\rightarrow started fires
  • A person →\rightarrow told the men
  • The judge →\rightarrow will decide

💡 Useful Word: "Belong to"

When something is yours, we say it belongs to you.

Example: These houses belong to the Prime Minister.

Try this logic:

  • My phone →\rightarrow belongs to me.
  • Your book →\rightarrow belongs to you.

⏱️ Past vs. Future

Notice how the words change when we talk about time:

  1. Past (Finished): They burned a car. (Add -ed)
  2. Future (Not happened yet): The judge will decide. (Use will)
