Introduction

Police are looking for people who shot guns in Brixton. One person died and three people are hurt.

Main Body

On Saturday morning, people in a car shot guns at a group on Coldharbour Lane. Keanu Taylor was 25 years old. He died from his injuries. Three other people went to the hospital, but they are okay now. Police and doctors arrived in four minutes. Police looked at videos from a local shop. People hid in the shop during the shooting. Police think this crime is linked to another crime. One hour later, a man was stabbed on Acre Lane. He was very sick. Now, more police officers are walking in the area to find the bad people.

Conclusion

Police want help from the public to find the shooters.

Learning

πŸ•’ The 'Past' Trick

To move from A1 to A2, you need to tell stories about things that already happened. Look at how the text changes words to show the past:

  • Die β†’\rightarrow Died (The person is gone)
  • Look β†’\rightarrow Looked (The police searched)
  • Hide β†’\rightarrow Hid (People stayed out of sight)

The Rule: Most words just need an -ed at the end. But some words are 'rebels' and change completely (like hide becoming hid).

πŸ“ Where and When

Notice how the writer places the 'Time' and 'Place' to make the sentence clear:

  1. Time first: "On Saturday morning..."
  2. Place first: "...on Coldharbour Lane."

Tip: When you describe an event, always start with When it happened and Where it happened. It makes your English sound more organized.
