⚡ The 'Past' Trick

To tell a story in English, we often just add -ed to the end of a word. Look at how the story changes these words:

  • Plan \rightarrow Planned
  • Protect \rightarrow Protected

Wait! Some words are 'rebels' and change completely:

  • Go \rightarrow Went
  • Write \rightarrow Wrote
  • Take \rightarrow Took
  • Catch \rightarrow Caught

🛡️ Useful 'Thing' Words

If you want to describe a situation, use these simple nouns from the text:

  • Security: The people or systems that keep us safe.
  • Vest: A piece of clothing (like a jacket without sleeves).
  • Prison: The place where people go when they break the law.

💡 Quick Tip: Describing People

When talking about someone, use this simple pattern: Name + is + Age + and from + Place.

Example: Cole is 31 years old and from California.
