Introduction

Many car accidents happened recently. Some people died and some roads closed.

Main Body

Three people died in three different places. In Delaware, a 23-year-old woman hit a pole. In Alberta, a 73-year-old man died in a crash. In Ohio, a 68-year-old woman drove the wrong way and hit another car. One accident happened on State Highway 1. Three cars hit each other. No one died and no one was hurt. The police closed the road for a short time. Police in Delaware, Alberta, and Ohio are now working. They want to know why these accidents happened.

Conclusion

Police are still studying the three deaths. One road problem is now finished.

πŸ“ Talking About Locations

In the text, we see how to connect people and places using the word 'In'.

  • In Delaware
  • In Alberta
  • In Ohio

The Rule: Use 'In' for cities, states, or countries.

Example for you: If you live in New York β†’\rightarrow "I live in New York." If you are in Spain β†’\rightarrow "I am in Spain."

πŸ•’ Past Actions (The '-ed' ending)

Look at these words from the story:

  • happen β†’\rightarrow happened
  • close β†’\rightarrow closed

When something is finished, we often add -ed to the end of the action word.

Simple Switch: Today I work β†’\rightarrow Yesterday I worked.
