⚠️ The 'Happened' Words

In this story, everything is in the past. To talk about things that are finished, we often add -ed to the end of the word.

See the pattern:

  • Walk \rightarrow Walked
  • Help \rightarrow Helped

From the text:

  • hit (This one is special! It stays the same: hit \rightarrow hit)
  • died (die \rightarrow died)

🔢 Counting People

When we have more than one person, we add an -s.

  • 1 man \rightarrow 2 men (Special change!)
  • 1 person \rightarrow 3 people (Special change!)

Quick Tip: If you see a number like 15,000, always use the plural form of the word after it.

  • 15,000 \rightarrow people
