⚖️ The 'Who did what' Pattern

In this story, we see a simple way to describe actions in the past. To move toward A2, you need to see how we change words to show something already happened.

The Change → The Result

  • Kill → Killed
  • Hide → Hid
  • Listen → Listened
  • Say → Said

💡 Quick Guide Most words just get an -ed at the end (like listen). But some are 'rebels' and change completely (like hide becoming hid).

Comparing Truths Look at how the text talks about the present vs. the past:

  • Past: "Bear Wolf killed Ray" (It is finished).
  • Present: "Paddy Kirk is guilty" (It is a fact right now).

Word Power: 'No proof' When we are not sure if something is true, we use: No proof. Example: There is no proof she died → We don't know for sure.
