Leo the lion lived in a big city. He had a shiny golden crown on his head. One day, the crown fell off and rolled away. Leo looked for it under cars and behind trees. He was very sad because he loved his crown.
Leo met a monkey named Mia in the park. Mia was swinging from a tall tree. 'I lost my crown,' said Leo. 'Can you help me?' Mia said, 'Yes, I will help you.' They looked in the bushes and on the rooftops.

A2 · Past Simple, Future with 'will', prepositions of place
We use the past simple to talk about actions that happened and finished in the past. For regular verbs, add -ed. Some verbs are irregular, like 'fell' and 'saw'.
We use 'will' to talk about the future, make promises, or offer help. The verb after 'will' is always in the base form.
Prepositions of place show where something or someone is. 'In' means inside, 'on' means on top of, 'under' means below, 'behind' means at the back of, and 'up' means to a higher position.
