Introduction

The government of Iran killed several people recently. Some people fought the government and some killed others.

Main Body

Iran killed three men in Mashhad. The government says these men worked for other countries. But human rights groups say the men did not have a fair trial. They say the police hurt the men to make them say 'yes'. Iran also killed four men in Isfahan for murder. They killed another man named Sassan. The government says Sassan helped the US and Israel. Rights groups say he did not have a good lawyer. Many people in Iran are angry because food and clothes cost too much money. They had big protests in January. The government says the US and Israel started these protests. Now, Iran kills more people than before.

Conclusion

Iran uses the death penalty to stop people from fighting the government.

πŸ’‘ The 'Action' Pattern

In this text, we see a very simple way to describe things that already happened. We use the Past Simple.

  • Kill β†’\rightarrow Killed
  • Fight β†’\rightarrow Fought
  • Say β†’\rightarrow Said
  • Have β†’\rightarrow Had

πŸ› οΈ How to build these sentences

To tell a story about the past, you usually just add -ed to the end of the word.

Example: The government killed three men.

But watch out! Some words are "rebels" and change completely. These are called irregular words:

  1. Fight becomes Fought
  2. Say becomes Said
  3. Have becomes Had
