💡 The 'Who Does What' Pattern
In English, we usually follow a straight line: Person → Action → Object.
Look at these examples from the story:
- A man (Person) shot (Action) him (Object).
- The court (Person/Group) is choosing (Action) a jury (Object).
Why this helps you reach A2: If you keep this order, people will always understand you, even if you forget a small word.
Quick Tip: The 'S' Rule Notice how we say "The lawyer says"? When talking about one person (He/She/The Lawyer), we add an -s to the action word.
- I say Wrong for this person
- The lawyer says Correct!
