🛠️ BUILDING SENTENCES WITH 'WHO'
In the story, we see this: "people who wanted to stay in the US."
Think of who as a bridge. It connects a person to a fact about them.
How it works: Person → who → Action/Fact
Examples from the text & life:
- People → who → wanted to stay (The people had a wish).
- Lawyers → who → tell the truth (The lawyers are honest).
- A man → who → lives in Germany (The man's home is Germany).
📉 QUICK WORD SWITCH
Instead of saying two short sentences, use who to make one smooth sentence:
❌ He is a lawyer. He works in Illinois. ✅ He is a lawyer who works in Illinois.
Remember: Only use who for people, not for things or papers!
