💡 The "Past Action" Pattern

Look at these words from the story:

  • Stop → Stopped
  • Die → Died
  • Use → Used

How it works: To talk about things that already happened, we usually add -ed to the end of the action word.

Examples from the text:

  • "Police stopped two adults" (It happened in the past).
  • "The officer used gas" (It happened in the past).

⚠️ The "Rule Breaker"

Some words do not follow the -ed rule. They change completely.

The Big Change:

  • Say \rightarrow Said

In the story: "They say the police..." (Now) \rightarrow "The mother says..." (Now) \rightarrow "She told the police" (Past).

Note: 'Told' is the past of 'Tell'.
