⚡ The "Action" Pattern

Look at how this story tells us what happened. It uses simple words to show a clear path from Action →\rightarrow Result.

1. The 'Past' Action When we talk about things that already finished, we add -ed to the end of the word.

  • Stop →\rightarrow Stopped*
  • Arrest →\rightarrow Arrested*
  • Want →\rightarrow Wanted*

  • Police: The people who catch criminals.
  • Leaders: The people who make the laws.
  • Criminals: The people who break the laws.

3. Small Words, Big Meaning

  • Some: A few (not all). "They arrested some people."
  • More: Extra. "Eighteen more people."

Quick Guide: Saying 'No' To say someone does not agree or does not do something, just put does not before the action:

  • Senator Cantwell+extdoesnot+extagree\text{Senator Cantwell} + ext{does not} + ext{agree}.
  • She+extdoesnot+extthink\text{She} + ext{does not} + ext{think}.
