Vocabulary Learning

🌍 People and Their Actions

Look at how we describe what people do. We use a simple pattern: Who →\rightarrow Action →\rightarrow Where/How.

Examples from the text:

  • Japanese fans →\rightarrow clean →\rightarrow the stadiums.
  • Dutch fans →\rightarrow wear →\rightarrow orange.
  • Bosnian fans →\rightarrow sing →\rightarrow a funny song.

💡 Key Tip: The 'S' Rule When talking about one person, we add an -s to the action word:

  • A man →\rightarrow dresses
  • A player →\rightarrow wants

But when talking about many people (fans), the action word stays simple:

  • Fans →\rightarrow show
  • Fans →\rightarrow put
